102. Care Of Green Iguanas iguanas have short, powerful limbs equipped with strong, sharp claws (for climbing and Young iguanas are pale bluegreen with dark-ringed tails. http://www.caringtogether.com/exotics/iguanas.html

The green (or common) iguana (Iguana iguana) is an arboreal (tree-living) and diurnal (daylight-active) lizard usually found at elevations below 3000 feet in tropical and subtropical regions from northern Mexico to central South America. It is most often found in the vicinity of rivers and streams. Male iguanas tend to be larger and have brighter overall coloration than females. The distinct color of males is especially pronounced during the breeding season. Males tend to have larger heads than females, in part because of swollen jowls. Both sexes have 12-13 prominent pores arranged in a row on the underside of both thighs. These glandular structures secrete a waxy substance with which iguanas mark their territory and identify each other. As the males mature, their "femoral pores" develop slight outward projections. This developmental modification probably enables the male to better grasp the female during copulation. An iguana's skin is entirely covered with very tiny scales. Iguanas cannot change their coloring (as chameleons do), but certain areas of their skin can become darker when exposed to direct sunlight. Young iguanas are pale blue-green with dark-ringed tails. They mature to a lighter, more earthy color, usually with dark vertical bars on the body and tail. Vision, hearing and the sense of smell are acute. In their natural environment, iguanas tend to be very wary, hiding or fleeing at any sign of danger. Iguanas are somewhat clumsy but accomplished tree climbers. They tend to bask by day on tree branches, often over water. When frightened or threatened, they usually drop (sometimes from great heights) into the water below. Being excellent swimmers, they quickly make their way to protective cover by pressing their front limbs along their sides and swishing their powerful tails from side to side. Iguanas can also safely land on the ground and run to protective cover after jumping from substantial heights. When threatened or cornered, iguanas can defend themselves with astonishingly quick, whip-like lashes of their tails and with their claws and jaws.

103. Who Killed The Iguanas? An article discussing the reasons for the decrease in iguana population. Includes a picture and bibliography. http://www.galapagos.to/TEXTS/NOT-50.HTM

Who Killed the Iguanas? Originally appeared in No. 50, 1991. But eventually the war does end and everybody gets to go home. Some years later scientists arrive and note the absence of land iguanas. They recall the island was occupied by American troops during the big one and set down the following observations: Iguanas were here before the war, Americans were here during the war, iguanas are missing after the war. expect Houston Liberty sic before On December 9, 1942, Wetmore's memorandum was forwarded to the Commanding General, Caribbean Defense Command, along with a directive, by order of the Secretary of War, that In short, the protection of flora and fauna was taken very seriously, even to the point of interceding in the actions of the civilian labor force. But could the servicemen themselves be expected to take their orders as seriously as did their president and the Smithsonian? In retrospect, perhaps they took them a little bit too GOATS MAY BE BANNED FROM PX BEER GARDEN It seems that some (human) newcomers had complained to the PX officer about the presence of the beasts, much to the disgust of the old-timers, who regarded the goats as fixtures. No action was taken, pending further study of the matter ( Goat's Whisker 1945). And so, along with their PX privileges, the animals prospered under a well-intentioned but misguided Uncle Sam. Alas, Schmitt's early recommendation to encourage goat hunting had apparently not reached the island. And as a result, a 1946 inspection report from Major-General Harmon to the Chief of Staff noted that

Fauna and Flora of Galapagos GALAPAGOS MARINE IGUANAS Just about every rocky shoreline in the Galapagos Islands is home to the marine iguana, the only sea-going lizard in the world. The marine iguana is an extraordinary animal which lives on land but grazes on a variety of seaweed, either on exposed rocks or by diving into the cold seawater. This habit, totally unique in iguanas, provides them with an abundant food source but can make them vulnerable to predation by sharks and other large fish. They are found nearly throughout the whole archipelago, in coastal concentrations of up to 4,500 individuals per mile. The total population has been estimated at between 200,000 and 300,000. Behaviour The marine iguana eats mainly algae, found underwater and in the tidal pools. They have also been known to consume crustaceans and grasshoppers. Its short, blunt nose is adapted for eating algae growing on rocks. Its flattened tail is perfect for swimming. They get rid of the excess salt taken in from the water by a special gland connected to the nostrils. The marine iguana is an excellent example of having adapted to its environment. When marine iguanas go hungry, they don't just become thinner, they get shorter too. A scientist recently found that in times of El Nino-induced famine, the marine iguanas will shrink in length and then will regrow as food becomes plentiful again. This finding, reported in the scientific journal

var MenuLinkedBy='AllWebMenus [2]', awmBN='526'; awmAltUrl=''; Home FAQ Join us! Contact us ... Fauna and Flora of Galapagos GALAPAGOS LAND IGUANAS behaviour conservation future goals for the iguana breeding centre There are two species of land iguana found in the Galapagos Islands - Conolophus subcristatus is native to six islands, and Conolophus pallidus is found only on the island of Santa Fe. They are large (over 1 metre long), yellowish animals, with males weighing up to 13 kilograms. Galapagos iguanas are thought to have had a common ancestor which floated out to the islands from the South American mainland on rafts of vegetation. Behaviour They live in the drier areas of the islands and in the mornings are found sprawled beneath the hot equatorial sun. However, to escape the heat of the midday sun, they seek the shade of cactus, rocks, trees or other vegetation. At night they sleep in burrows dug in the ground, to conserve their body heat. The land iguanas show a fascinating interaction with Darwin's finches, raising themselves off the ground and allowing the little birds to remove ticks. Land iguanas feed mainly on low-growing plants and shrubs, such as the cactus, as well as fallen fruits and cactus pads. These succulent plants provide them with the moisture they require during long, dry periods.

Words: Gordon Burghardt Images: Christian Ziegler Welcome to the world A tiny, bright-green head popped out of a hole in the ground and looked around, flicking its tongue onto almost everything it could reach before disappearing below ground. A few seconds later, another head emerged at a hole nearby, then another at a different hole again. This was the moment I'd waited weeks to see - the hatching of green iguanas in Panama. Each day in early May, I ate breakfast at sunrise, grabbed a flask of coffee and headed down almost 200 steps from my hilltop station to Lake Gatun. I threw supplies into a small boat and motored out to the tiny islet of Slothia where I entered a small wooden hide facing a clearing. And there I stayed till sunset. I knew that many dozens of adult female green iguanas had congregated months earlier in this clearing to lay eggs in nest burrows before swimming back to the mainland. But no one had ever seen nest emergence take place. Not before this.

Iguanas and health My son desperately wants a pet iguana. Are there any good health risks which I can use to argue against him getting one, and save our house from this terrible fate? Lorna Dr Trisha Macnair responds You're in luck! There's a major health risk from reptiles, as most of them carry the salmonella bacteria. While you could, of course, minimise this risk by taking some simple hygienic measures, infections with these bacteria can be life-threatening. So I reckon you do have a fairly strong argument to keep an iguana out of the house. Salmonella There are several important types of salmonella infection. They're usually picked up from contaminated and undercooked foods, and commonly cause gastro-enteritis, with symptoms such as fever, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. These infections are usually unpleasant, but mild. However, for people who are more vulnerable, such as young children or the elderly, salmonella can cause much more serious problems - including meningitis or blood infections. It can also cause abortions in pregnant women.

115. Land Iguanas Repatriated of conservation efforts leading to release of iguanas back into this environment....... http://www.galapagos.org/whatsnew/iguana.html

Land Iguanas Released on Baltra June 12, 2003 Based on a release from the Charles Darwin Foundation Thanks to the support of the Ecuadorian Air Force, the Galapagos National Park Service (GNP) and the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) were able to repatriate 64 land iguanas to their original island, Baltra, on June 12, 2003. The iguanas were transferred from the Breeding Center of the GNP and the CDF in Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz) to Baltra. The 64 iguanas were liberated by members of the three institutions. The repatriation of the land iguanas was done when they had reached the minimum age of 5 years and a minimum weight of 400 grams. These requirements ensured that the iguanas are strong enough to survive in the wild, and are able to protect themselves from the introduced species that could threaten their life, such as cats and rats. Land iguanas disappeared from Baltra in the 1940s due to the impact of human activity and the presence of introduced species like goats, dogs, and rats. Luckily, at the beginning of the 1930s, an expedition of scientists from the United States had realized that the condition of the Baltra iguanas was not good and transferred 70 of them to North Seymour, where there were no land iguanas or introduced species to compete with them for food or space.

120. Galapagos Reptiles Information about the giant tortoise, green sea turtle, marine and land iguanas, and lava lizards. http://www.rit.edu/~rhrsbi/GalapagosPages/Reptiles.html

Reptiles Giant Tortoise Green Sea Turtle Marine Iguana Land Iguana ... Lava Lizards Herman Melville, who visited the Galapagos in 1837, just after Darwin, took a bleak view of the archipelago's fauna: " Another feature in these isles is their emphatic uninhabitableness....Little but reptile life is here found: - tortoises, lizards, immense spiders, snakes, and the strangest anomaly of outlandish Nature, the aguano. No voice, no low, no howl is heard; the chief sound of life here is a hiss." While "immense spiders" certainly are not reptiles, the Galapagos Islands are indeed known for their rich reptilian population, beginning with the giant tortoises , the "galapagos" from which the archipeligo derives its name. It was the giant tortoises, with 11 subspecies scattered about the archipelago, that first called Darwin's attention to the amazing diversity of the Galapagos wildlife. Sea turtles also call the Galapagos home. The most commonly seen sea turtle is the green sea turtle , which is considered to be endangered throughout its range, except in the Galapagos.
