AbstractWith a view to gather information on the diversity, habitat, distribution and residential status of vertebrates (except bird) of “Babu Dying” which is under Mohonpur Union, Godagari Upazila, Rajshahi district and Jhilim Union, Sadar Upazila, Chapainawabgonj district, a systematic field study was conducted for a period of six months from December 2007 to May 2008. A total of 35 of vertebrates (except birds), belonging to 10 orders, 20 families and 29 genera were recorded. Out of35 species, 22 (63%) comprised mammals, 9 (26%) reptiles and 4 (11%) amphibians. The study revealed that most of the species used more than one habitat and tbe highest number of species, 15 (43%) were observed on the human habitation and the lowest number of species, I (2.68%) was found in bamboo clamps. The highest number of species 8 (23%) were domestic and the lowest number of species 4 (11%) were few or rare. A number of environmental and man-made factors appeared to be responsible for decline in the population and species diversity of the vertebrates in the study area.
