Cuban Rock Iguana
TROUBLE IN PARADISE
At least nine species of rock iguanas are scattered across the islands of the Caribbean. But the tropical dry forests where they live have been decimated by development and introduced livestock. Feral cats, dogs, and mongooses eat iguana eggs and kill hatchlings. Rock iguanas are among the most endangered lizards in the world!
