Abstract |
New quotes of two relict Palaearctic species: Vipera latastei and Emys orbicularis in the Tangier Peninsula. In the framework of an environmental impact assessment related to a wind farm project in Jbel Haouch Ben Kre’aa (ca. 30 km south of Tangier) a field work (23-30 May 2009) was carried out in order to inventory the amphibians and reptiles of the region. During this work we recorded three amphibian species and twelve reptile species. Of these, two are Palaearctic relict species: the European pond turtle Emys orbicularis the Lataste’s Viper Vipera latastei. For the former, this site remains the northernmost in Morocco, this is an extension of the species’ known range in Morocco by almost 50 Km. For the last, this is only the fourth record of the species in Tangier Peninsula after those of Boettger (1883) and Bons (1967).
