South Banat District is a northeastern district of Serbia with the seat of the district in Pančevo. It borders Romania to the east. The district lies in the region of Banat, in the autonomous province of Vojvodina. The Vršac Mountains represent an independent and distinct massif, 19 kilometers long and spread on an area of 170 square kilometers. In geological terms, Vršac Mountains are the remains of the former Panonian mass, which lowered in the Mesozoic, specifically in the oligo-miocene some 40-50 million years ago. South Banat district is very interesting for the presence of some reptile species like slow worm (Anguis fragilis), Snake-eyed skink (Ablepharus kitaibelii) and Meadow Lizard (Darevskia praticola) which have a discontinuous area and are very rare animals in this part of Balkan Peninsula. Also, South Banat District is very important hybrid zone for some amphibian species like Northern Crested Newt (Triturus cristatus) and Danube Crested Newt (Triturus dobrogicus).
