Regional Reptile Diversity
Reptiles are the most successful class of terrestrial vertebrates, with some 12 700 taxa recognised globally. Together, the Limpopo Province and Kruger National Park of South Africa comprise a land area roughly equal in size to the state of New York, USA. A staggering total of 210 reptile species occur in this comparatively small region – accounting for nearly 2% of all reptile taxa worldwide and highlighting the Limpopo Province and Kruger National Park's unprecedented biodiversity.
