Herping can involve activities such as hiking, camping, and exploring remote areas in pursuit of finding and observing reptiles and amphibians in their natural habitats. It's a popular hobby among nature enthusiasts, wildlife photographers, researchers, and conservationists who are fascinated by these fascinating and often misunderstood creatures.
