Fundulus kansae, commonly known as Northern plains killifish, is a species of fish in the family Fundulidae.
Distribution
Fundulus kansae inhabits the Great Plains region of the United States. It can be found in the shallows of small rivers and ponds.
The species is primarily found in Kansas but can also be found in the nearby states of Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. It has been found in Montana, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, where it is considered non-native.
