Lacerta bilineata

Lacerta bilineata, or western green lizard, is one of Europe’s most striking reptiles, found in Croatia’s sunny, shrub-covered habitats and forest edges.

Its bright green body and long tail make it a true symbol of biodiversity. This agile lizard is an important predator of insects, playing a vital role in maintaining ecological balance.

Despite its adaptability, Lacerta bilineata is vulnerable to habitat loss and human disturbance. By protecting its environment, we help preserve this vibrant species and the health of Croatia’s ecosystems.
