2021Fauna (European Legless Lizard) - Set

Bosnia and Herzegovina is rich in high diversity of plant and animal species, ecosystems and genetic diversity among species, due to its specific geographical location and pronounced different climatic zones from north to south. It is characterized by a large number of refuges and habitats that favored the conservation of species during the last ice age, which began in Europe 2.6 million years ago and lasted until 11,700 years ago. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, 29 indigenous species of reptiles have been registered, and there are two more registered non-indigenous species of turtles originating from America and Asia.
