Rocky Mountain Front
 |
| Species of Special Concern |
| The Rocky Mountain Front is an integral part of the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem, one of the only
remaining areas in the Continental United States with an intact assemblage of large
mammalian carnivores. Grizzly bear, gray wolf, wolverine, and lynx, all considered rare or
endangered in the U.S., still occur here. Rare birds found along the Front include boreal
owls, ferruginous hawks, and trumpeter swans, all Species of Special Concern in Montana.
Remnant populations of westslope cutthroat trout, bull trout, and harlequin ducks can
still be found in the higher mountain streams. Arctic grayling have been extrapated from
the East Front, but efforts are underway to re-establish grayling in historic streams. |
