Reptilia: Chrysemys picta
This reptilia is commonly known as the painted turtle. The turtle makes a couple contributions to the environment. It's heterotrophic feature lets it eat any water insects that could potentially pollute the water or harm other organisms in the stream.

Amphiba: Ambystoma tigrinum
These tiger salamanders transmit a bacteria called batrachochytrium dendrobatidis to other predators. This can help prevent the salamanders from going extinct from the wild. This will also prevent predators from going after the salamanders. Due to natural selection, overproduction will take place because in a matter of years, the population will grow approximately 3 times.

Aves: Haliaeetus leucocephalus
The bald eagle is one of the most commonly known animal in America; however, its nesting ground is mainly located in the Badlands. This bird is known as a bird of prey, meaning that it would be at the top of the food web. This organism can survive with the consistent food supply it could get.

Carnivores: Hoplophoneus mentalis
Even though there are no carnivores in the Badlands, there are fossils of Hoplophoneus mentalis. This specific organism can be found only in the Badlands. This organism, at the time, has similar characteristics to the modern-day cheetah and run high speed to hunt down their prey.

Herbivores: Cynomys leucurus
The prairie dogs are known by many people, but what people don't know is that it's thrives in the Badlands. The prairie dogs are herbivores, so they don't eat any meat and live off of a plant-based diet. The prairie dogs are preys of certain species, but it's very unlikely in the grasslands area.

Omnivores: Vulpes velox
The fox is known to be either a carnivore or an herbivore. It feeds off of grass, fruit, other mammals, and insects. The fox is one of the most important aspect of keeping a great environment in the grasslands in the Badlands. The fox will most likely have the highest survival rate out of every mammal.

Rodents: Castor canadensis
The beaver is the biggest rodent in America. Although it could be found almost anywhere around the United States, one of its main nesting place is inside the Badlands. The beavers are herbivorous, so it shouldn't make a huge impact to the environment.
