Sažetak
During research of the amphibians and reptiles of Krapina-Zagorje County, several individuals of the Viviparous Lizard, Zootoca vivipara, were recorded at two locations on Macelj Mountain for the first time. The closest known record in Croatia is Žumberak Mountain, approximately 70 km to the south-west. The new records represent the first data about this species in the Hrvatsko Zagorje region, expanding the known distribution range towards the north. New records are important to better understand the distribution and habitat requirements of this species, since it is listed as data deficient (DD) in the Red Book of amphibians and reptiles of Croatia.
