IORDACHE ION, ŞTEFAN R. ZAMFIRESCU, DUMITRU ANTONESEI

Abstract

In the Bârnova forest, were identified four species of snakes: Zamenis longissimus (Laurenti, 1768), Coronella austriaca (Laurenti, 1768), Natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758), and Vipera berus (Linnaeus, 1758) [2]. As recent observations lack, the objective of our study was to verify the persistence of the previously identified snake populations in the study area.
