ird fauna of the cluster is very peculiar due to its rocky landscapes. Falco peregrinus and<br />

smaller Falcons, viz., F. subbuteo ³ F. tinnunculus, occur only here, because of their<br />

preference to dwell in rocks. Nucifraga caryocatactes occurs here while nestling.<br />

Vipera berus and Lacerta vivipara are widely distributed here, but Lacerta agilis and<br />

Anguis fragilis are rather occasional.<br />

There are amphibians, viz., Bombina variegata, Rana temporaria and Bufo bufo, and the<br />

first two species are more numerous. The endemic Triturus montandoni and T. alpestris occur<br />

here and they are included into the “Red Book of Ukraine”.<br />

The mountain rivers in the Maramorosh cluster are inhabited by Salmo trutta m. fario,<br />

Thymalus thymalus, Cottus gobio, Cobitis taenia, Phoxynus phoxynu; and Eudonthomyzon<br />

danfordi (Cyclostomata) occur rather rarely.<br />

Being the Carpathian and Eastern-Carpathian endemics, a number of invertebrates occur<br />

in the Maramorosh only, viz., Carabus fabricii, Nebria transsylvanica and Trechus carpaticus<br />

(Carabidae, Coleoptera).<br />
