Lacerta agilis

Lacerta agilis, commonly known as the sand lizard, is a vibrant reptile species found in Croatia’s meadows, grasslands, and sandy habitats.

Recognisable by its striking green colouring during the breeding season, this lizard plays a vital role in controlling insect populations.

Although Lacerta agilis is relatively widespread, it faces threats from habitat loss and changes in land use. Protecting its natural habitats is crucial for ensuring the survival of this beautiful and ecologically important species. Let’s celebrate and conserve Croatia’s wildlife!
