Abstract

Zootoca vivipara is a poorly investigated lizard species in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The species is often associated with mountain ecosystems in the Dinaric area. For the first time we present all records of this species in Bosnia and Herzegovina. By analysing data from literature, the herpetological collection (National Museum) and from field work, we conclude that this species mainly inhabits the northern and central parts of the country. The amount of data is still small, but it is believed that its distribution is underestimated. Therefore, the conservation status of Z. vivipara in Bosnia and Herzegovina should be considered as: Data Deficient (DD).
