Rana ridibunda, Emys orbicularis, Lacerta viridis and Natrix natrix are common and frequent species in the habitat. Three species of those  mentioned are vulnerable: Triturus cristatus, Emys orbicularis, Podarcis muralis, an endangered species Ablepharus kitaibelii and two species are  threatened to dissapear: Bufo viridis and Podarcis taurica.
