eferring to vertebrates, the Rudava River is a home of the rare Ukrainian Brook Lamprey (Eudontomyzon<br />

mariae), which is only known at a few sites in Slovakia and is also ranked among the species of Community<br />

interest. Altogether the Rudava harbours 40 fish species, which represents the highest fish species diversity<br />

among all 55 tributaries of the Morava River.<br />

The fauna of amphibians and reptiles is also abundant and diverse with 18 species. The wetlands represent<br />

important reproduction and breeding habitats for amphibians, some of them living there all the year round.<br />

The most common are Common Newt (Triturus vulgaris), Common Eurasian Spadefoot (Pelobates fuscus),<br />

Moor Frog (Rana arvalis), Agile Frog (Rana dalmatina), European Tree Frog (Hyla arborea) and Common Toad<br />

(Bufo bufo).<br />
