In the summer of the year 2014 we encountered in the Vâlsan River hydrographical basin two reptile species (Emys orbicularis and Coronella austriaca), which weren't mentioned previously in this area. The European pond turtle was found in a small stream situated in a beech forest, in the lower sector basin. This habitat is unusual for E. orbicularis, indicating the absence of suitable habitats in the protected area, but probably also the anthropogenic pressure that affects the species downstream.
