Podarcis siculus adriatica

Podarcis siculus adriatica, or Adriatic wall lizard, is a beautiful subspecies of the common wall lizard, found along Croatia’s rugged coastal regions.

This vibrant reptile thrives in sunlit areas, such as rocky walls, cliffs, and old ruins, where it hunts for insects and small invertebrates.

Endemic to the Adriatic coast, this lizard faces threats from habitat destruction and invasive species. Protecting its coastal habitat is crucial for preserving the biodiversity of Croatia’s unique ecosystems and ensuring the survival of this distinctive subspecies.
