Elaphe quatuorlineata
Elaphe quatuorlineata, or the four-lined snake, is a magnificent species found in Croatia's rocky and forested areas.
Recognisable by its four distinct longitudinal stripes, this non-venomous snake plays a vital role in controlling populations of rodents and other small animals.
Despite its importance in the ecosystem, the four-lined snake faces threats from habitat destruction and human activity. Conserving its natural habitat is crucial to ensuring the survival of this beautiful and beneficial species in Croatia.
