Macrovipera mauritanica from Ouarzazate area
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 9:45 amAgain, some scanned slides.
Ouarzazate is south of the High Atlas. You will reach this town, when you drive from Marrakech south, crossing the Tizi-n-Tichka pass (2´260 m asl).
Some kilometres north of Ouarzazate is the Tiffoultoute river, a very good place for searching for reptiles.
We have found there, for example:
Macrovipera mauritanica
Psammophis schokari
Bufo mauritanicus
and Mauremys leprosa
