European green toad
Amphibians and reptiles: The amphibians and reptiles listed below have been recorded in the Aammiq region either by A Rocha personnel or people working with A Rocha from 1996 onwards. As with the other species lists, the Aammiq region is here taken to include not just the valley floor wetlands, which are very rich in reptiles, but also the adjacent farmlands and the rocky slopes of Mount Barouk. Herpetology, the study of reptiles and amphibians, is a specialised field and as yet there has been no systematic A Rocha herpetological survey of this area. Far more species are known to exist in the area than the ones reported. Species include: European green toad ("Bufo viridis"), Levantine frog ("Pelophylax bedriagae"), Levant green lizard ("Lacerta media"), European worm snake ("Typhlops vermicularis"), Levant viper ("Macrovipera lebetina").
