Kris Hoffmann is a herpetologist who focuses on conservation, habitat needs, and distribution of amphibians and reptiles. She is most well known for her studies on the ecology of Unisexual Salamanders, authoring a vernal pool coloring book, and using her Conservation Detection Dog, K9 Newt, to map endangered turtle populations.

Kris lives in Potsdam with her dogs, rabbit, frogs, salamanders, turtles, and more chickens than her husband would like. Her wildlife detector dog-and-student teams locate endangered turtles for state biologists in the North East.
