Morocco’s diverse habitats—Mediterranean forests, deserts, and the Atlas Mountains—support a rich herpetofauna. Amphibian diversity is modest, with species like the Moroccan Painted Frog and Atlas Newt. Reptiles are more abundant and include endemic and Mediterranean species such as various lizards (e.g., Moroccan Rock Agama) and snakes (e.g., Vipera species). The Atlas Mountains serve as key habitats for many endemic species, while desert areas host specialized reptiles like the Egyptian sand viper. Conservation efforts aim to protect these species from threats like habitat loss and pollution.
