Reptiles and amphibians of the Bizek quarry
This was a study of reptiles and amphibians which lasted from 2008 till 2014 in the inactive Bizek quarry, where we collected information on the presence of species belonging to those two groups. A variety of habitats occur in the quarry: a mixed deciduous forest of Quercus sp., Fagus sylvatica and Carpinus betulus surrounds the quarry to the north, east and west. Thermophilic elements are predominant on the western side, while on the southern side the forest gives way to yards and housing. Two permanent streams and a pond are also present, along with some intermittent streams and puddles. We caught animals by hand and, in some cases, we also used a stick with a noose for lizards, gloves and hooks for snakes, and a net for the amphibians. We found seven reptile and seven amphibian species in the quarry, all of which are already known from the surroundings of Zagreb. Frogs belonging to the genus Pelophylax Fitzinger, 1843 were identified down to the genus level only, because of the complexity of the determination and the inability to reliably identify them on the basis of external morphology. The finding of Bombina variegata (Linnaeus, 1758), which is on Annexes II and IV of the European Comission's Habitats Directive, is of special significance. The results of this study contribute to the knowledge of the occurrence and distribution of suburban reptiles and amphibians within the Nature Park Medvednica.
