Mortenson Lake, Wyoming is the range of the Wyoming Toad (Bufo baxteri, Anaxyrus baxteri).
Specifically, the Wyoming Toad once favored the river floodplains near Laramie. But the population became extinct in the 1990s, possibly by becoming infected with the chytrid fungus. Captive-breeding programs in zoos are the sources of a brave but small population of toads introduced in the area of Mortenson Lake.

The borders of lakes and permanent water bodies is the habitat of the Wyoming Toad (Bufo baxteri, Anaxyrus baxteri).Specifically, the Wyoming Toad prefer the short-grass prairie that edges floodplains, lakes, ponds and streams. In fact, populations of Wyoming Toads rarely venture further than 30 feet (9.14 meters) from water. In addition to breeding, Wyoming Toads see water as a haven from danger and fear. When frightened, their first reaction is to dive into the water and swim straight to the bottom.
