// Land fauna // The fauna in the Nature Park Telašćica is very rich and diverse. In the area of the park 486 land animals have been recorded so far. Insects (189 species) and birds (110 species) take a major part of the total number. A part of the recorded organisms are endangered and protected by law. The most interesting birds that can be encountered in the park are birds of prey. While walking through the park they can be seen on the steeps of the cliffs of Dugi otok which are turned towards the open-sea. Bats live hidden in the caves and the biggest mammal that can be seen in the park is the mouflon while the snakes are mostly unpoisonous. Bats There are 8 species of bats in the area of Telašćica. During the day they dwell on dark places such as holes in old trees, caves and half-caves. The biggest colony that has been established by now is in the cave Golubinka with the sea-entrance under the cliffs where about 2000 individuals of the Geoffrey's bat (Myotis emarginatus) dwell together with about 1000 individuals of the Greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum). Also, pretty large numbers of some other species like European free-tailed bat (Tadarida teniotis ) and Gray long-eared bat (Plecotus austriacus) are registered. Other mammals There are not many other species of mammals on the whole Dugi otok island, including Telašćica. Altogether 13 species of mammals have been recorded. Some of them are House mouse (Mus musculus ), rat (Ratus norvegicus ), Common vole (Microtus arvalis) and Stone marten ( Mustela foina ). Brown hare (Lepus europaeus ) used to live here a long time ago, but it is extinct now, probably because of the great number of martens on the island. Besides these autochthonous species, mouflons (Ovis musimon) were brought to the island which now live naturally on the pastures in the northern part of the whole island. During the day they dwell in the woods and macchia, and during the night and in the morning they come out on pasture. According to data that is available at the moment, 110 species of birds have been registered in Telašćica, even though it is considered that there are even more species. The most interesting among them are birds of prey. On the cliffs on the open-sea side of the island the Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is nesting. Besides it Eleonora's falcon (Falco eleonorae) can also be seen here. It only flies over this area, and it is nesting on Malta. Lanner falcon (Falco biarmicus) and Eurasian Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) can also be seen here. Numerous swifts that catch bugs in the air fly in flocks above the bay; Alpine swift (Apus melba) and Pallid swift (Apus palidus) that are distinguished among people, and Common swift that is called čiopa or caparin. The Pallid swift is called kosirić or jargić. During the night on Telašćica shouts of the Eurasian eagle owl (Bubo bubo) can be heard. It is our biggest owl that can be 70 cm high, and its wingspan is 170 cm. White wagtail (Motacilla alba) that is on Dugi otok island called čobanica or čeperinka because it dwells by the sheep, feeds on ticks and other small bugs that dwell around them. The redbreast (Erithacus rubecula) a small song-bird of red chest and face can also be seen. Around the bay numerous seagulls can also be seen (Larus cachinans – Yellow-legged gull). In some places on the island it is called kakalo, because of its characteristic cries. Black birds of a long neck can be seen flying low over the sea and these are shags. Two species can be found in the area of the park: Shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) and Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo). A bird of azure-blue colours flying quickly as lightning along the coast or across the lake can be seen very often. It is the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis). This is our only bird of bright blue-green upperparts and chestnut-red under parts. Of the amphibians, there are two species of frogs – European tree frog (Hyla arborea ) and green toad (Bufo viridis ). This is a small number but it is not surprising because this area is relatively dry, and these two species tolerate dry conditions. In the area of the park 10 species have been recorded by now. Mediterranean Gecko or tarentula (Hemidactylus turcicus ), pronouncedly nocturnal animal, can often be seen on houses. Only 5 species of snakes have been recorded on the Dugi otok island: Leopard snake (Elaphe situla), Cat snake (Telescopus falax), Balkan Whip Snake (Coluber gemonensis), Montpellier snake (Malpolon monspessulanus) and Grass Snake (Natrix natrix). None of them is poisonous for people. Of all the reptiles on the island lizards are encountered in most cases – Dalmatian wall lizard and Italian wall lizard (Podarcis melisellensis and Podarcis sicula) and great legless lizard – European legless lizard (Ophisaurus apodus). Biologically most interesting finding of the Dugi otok island is worm snake Typhlops vermicularis. It is an extremely rare underground species and it was recorded in Croatia only once in the vicinity of Sali in 1977. Invertebrates of the land part of "Telašćica" Nature Park are just being explored. In researches that have been done so far, 339 species of invertebrates have been recorded: 58 day and night butterflies and 16 Dragonflies. Of the other invertebrates registered are 65 species of Terrestrial molluscs, 39 species of beetles, 20 species of Leafhoppers (Homoptera), 65 species of True bugs or Bedbugs (Heteroptera), 16 species of centipedes (Myriapoda), 53 species of spiders (Aranea), 1 species of Harvestmen (Opiliones) and 2 species of scorpions (Scorpiones) and 4 species of pseudoscorpions (Pseudoscorpiones). Of the land invertebrates cicadas can often be heard in the summer. They dwell on the pine trees and chirrup the whole day. In the spring and early summer numerous butterflies can be seen. The most common is yellow Cleopatra butterfly (Gonepteryx cleopatra).

// Kopnena fauna // Životinjski svijet u Parku prirode Telašćica vrlo je bogat i raznolik. Do sada je na području Parka zabilježeno 486 životinjskih kopnenih vrsta. Od toga najveći dio čine kukci (189 vrsta) i ptice (110 vrsta). Dio zabilježenih organizama je ugrožen i zaštićen zakonom (vidi ZANIMLJIVOSTI). Od ptica koje možemo susresti u Parku najzanimljivije su grabljivice. Šetnjom kroz Park grabljivice možemo vidjeti na stijenama Dugootočkog strmca koje su okrenute prema pučini. Šišmiši žive skriveni po špiljama, najčešći sisavac koji se može susresti u šumi je muflon, a zmije su uglavnom neotrovne. Šišmiši Na području Telašćice utvrđeno je osam vrsta šišmiša. Preko dana zadržavaju se na tamnim mjestima kao što su duplje u starom drveću, spilje i poluspilje. Najveća do sada utvrđena kolonija na području Parka je u spilji Golubinka s morskim ulazom ispod strmaca gdje obitava oko 2000 jedinki riđeg šišmiša ( Myotis emarginatus ) i oko 1000 jedinki velikog potkovnjaka ( Rhinolophus ferrumequinum ). Zabilježene su prilično velike koncentracije i nekih drugih vrsta kao što su sredozemni slobodnorepac ( Tadarida teniotis ) i sivi dugouhi šišmiš ( Plecotus austriacus ). Ostale vrste sisavaca Na cijelom Dugom otoku, pa tako i u Telašćici, ima malo drugih vrsta sisavaca. Sveukupno je zabilježeno 13 vrsta sisavaca. Neki od njih su kućni miš ( Mus musculus ), štakor ( Ratus norvegicus ), poljska voluharica ( Microtus arvalis ) i kuna bjelica ( Mustela foina ). Nekad je na otoku živio i zec ( Lepus europaeus ), ali je najvjerojatnije zbog velikog broja kuna na otoku izumro. Osim ovih autohtonih vrsta, na otok su doseljeni mufloni ( Ovis musimon ) koji žive potpuno prirodno na pašnjacima južnog dijela cijelog otoka. Danju se zadržavaju u šumama i makiji, a noću te ujutro izlaze na pašu. Dosadašnjim istraživanjima u Parku prirode Telašćica zabilježeno je 110 vrsta ptica, iako se smatra da bi ih se ovdje moglo zabilježiti znatno više. Među njima su najzanimljivije grabljivice. Na strmcima s vanjske strane otoka gnijezdi sivi sokol ( Falco peregrinus ), a osim njega ovdje se mogu susresti tamni eleonorin sokol ( Falco eleonorae ) koji je tu samo na preletu, a gnijezdi na Malti, zatim krški sokol ( Falco biarmicus ) i vjetruša ( Falco tinnunculus ). Iznad uvale u jatima lete brojne čiope koje u zraku love kukce; bijela ( Apus melba ) i smeđa čiopa ( Apus palidus ) koje razlikuju i u narodu, te crnu čiopu koju nazivaju – čiopa ili caparin, a smeđu čiopu – kosirić ili jargić. Noću se na Telašćici može čuti dozivanje velike ušare ( Bubo bubo ) – naše najveće sove koja može biti visoka 70 cm a raspon krila joj je 170 cm. Pastirica ( Motacilla alba ) koju na Dugom otoku zovu čobanica ili čeperinka jer se zadržava uz ovce hraneći se krpeljima (čeperinima) i drugim sitnim kukčićima koji se oko njih zadržavaju. Često se može vidjeti i crvendać ( Erithacus rubecula ) – mala ptica pjevica narančastocrvenih prsa i lica. Naravno da se oko uvale mogu vidjeti i brojni galebovi ( Larus cachinans – galeb klaukavac ) kojeg u nekim mjestima na otoku zbog karakterističnog glasanja zovu kakalo. Osim njih na moru se mogu vidjeti crne ptice dugog vrata kako lete nisko iznad površine mora, a to su vranci. Na području Parka nalazimo dvije vrste i to: morski vranac ( Phalacrocorax aristotelis ) i veliki vranac ( Phalacrocorax carbo ). Često se može uočiti i ptica koja poput tirkizne strijele munjevito leti nisko uz obalu mora ili preko jezera. To je vodomar ( Alcedo atthis ). Jedina naša ptica blistavo plavozeleno obojena odozgo i kestenjastocrvena odozdo. Od vodozemaca ovdje žive dvije vrste žaba – gatalinka ( Hyla arborea ) i zelena krastača ( Bufo viridis ), što je malo, ali ne začuđuje jer je ovo područje relativno suho, a ove dvije vrste podnose suhe uvjete. Dosada je na području Parka utvrđeno 10 vrsta. Po kućama se često može vidjeti macaklin ili tarentula ( Hemidactylus turcicus ) koji je izrazito noćna životinja. Od zmija na cijelom Dugom otoku do sada je nađeno svega pet vrsta: crvenkrpica (Elaphe situla), crnokrpica ( Telescopus falax ), šara poljarica ( Coluber gemonensis ), zmajur ( Malpolon monspessulanus ) i bjelouška ( Natrix natrix ). Ni jedna od njih nije otrovna za čovjeka. Od gmazova ipak se najčešće mogu susresti gušterice – primorska i krška ( Podarcis melisellensis i Podarcis sicula ) te veliki beznogi gušter – blavor ( Ophisaurus apodus ). Biološki najzanimljiviji nalaz gmazova s Dugog otoka je slijepa zmija Typhlops vermicularis koju su nedopušteno u Austriju odnesli tamošnji znanstvenici. Ovo je izuzetno rijetka podzemna vrsta i na području Hrvatske zabilježena je samo jednom i to 1977. g. u blizini mjesta Sali. Beskralješnjaci u PP Telašćica, njenog kopnenog dijela, tek se počinju istraživati. U dosadašnjim istraživanjima zabilježeno je 339 vrsta beskralješnjaka: 58 vrsta leptira (dnevnih i noćnih), a vretenaca 16. Od ostalih beskralješnjaka utvrđeno je 65 vrsta kopnenih mekušaca, 39 vrsta kornjaša, 20 vrsta jednakokrilaca ( Homoptera ), 65 vrsta raznokrilaca ili stjenica (Heteroptera), 16 vrsta stonoga (Myriapoda), 53 vrste paukova ( Aranea ), jedna vrsta lažipauka ( Opiliones ) te 2 vrste štipavaca ( Scorpiones ) i 4 vrste lažištipavaca ( Pseudoscorpiones ). Od kopnenih beskralješnjaka najčešće se ljeti mogu čuti cvrčci koji nastanjuju borove i po cijeli dan s njih cvrče. Međutim u rano ljeto i proljeće primijetiti ćemo brojne leptire od kojih je najčešći žuto obojeni kleopatrin žučak ( Gonepteryx cleopatra ).
