Abstract

Of amphibians (Amphibia), 14 species have been recorded in the extended territory of the Pálava BR, i. e. 66,7 % of the total number of amphibian species in the Czech Republic. Among them is the newt, Triturus dobrogicus which was first discovered in the Czech Republic in this area, in the Soutok locality. All amphibian species reproduce in the study area. Of reptiles (Reptilia), 8 species (i. e. 72,7 % of the total teptile species in the Czech Republic) have been recorded in the BR. Five of them reproduce in it, while the remaining three, Emys orbicularis, Elaphe longissima and Natrix tessellata, probably do not inhabit the area permanently.
