If you visit a refuge or hatchery while playing Pokemon Go, you can share your pictures using the hashtag #WildlifeGo.

And if you capture a photo a real critter in the wild, try #PokeBlitz to learn more about wildlife.

"He looks like some of the native amphibians here in a way," Samantha Bartling with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service says of a Pokemon. "Like a rough skinned newt."

Similarities like these have led the fish and wildlife service to launch a new online campaign called Wildlife Go to capitalize on the popularity of Pokemon Go. (SBG)

Lurking among the endangered plants and the marsh at refuges and hatcheries all over the country, there's a whole lot of wildlife.
