Iguana Specialist Group (formerly The West Indian Iguana Specialist Group) Group works to study and conserve West Indian iguanas (Cyclura and Iguana), which are among the most endangered lizards in the world, and their habitats. It includes data on each species' habitat, current status, estimated population size, threats, conservation activities, and reports. http://www.iucn-isg.org/index.php

Main ISG Home Action Plan Reports Dr. Jan Ramer Newsletters Photo Galleries View Images The iguanas of the world are a truly unique group of animals inhabiting North, Central and South America, the Galapagos islands, the Antilles, and Fiji and Tonga. They are among the most endangered of the world's creatures, primarily because much of their habitat has been eliminated by human develop- ment or severely degraded by invasive species. Because iguanas are likely to be important seed dispersers for many native plants, their loss has serious consequences for the ecosystems to which they belong. IUCN SSC Iguana Specialist Group IUCN The World Conservation Union Through partnerships with government agencies, conservation organizations, and research institutions, the IUCN Iguana Specialist Group seeks to help design and implement immediate and effective conservation measures for this magnificent group of lizards.

quick advanced Scroll down for the article The Blue Racer Snake Wild Things - Endangered Reptile Species We see them in books, on TV and our pet stores are full of 'em. But that doesn't mean that they can't be endangered. Snakes , lizards, turtles and crocodiles are reptiles around the world currently facing the possibility of extinction due to habitat loss, pollution and human greed. Take a look at these fierce, but fragile, endanger-ed reptiles Kidzworld wants to bring to your attention. Blue Racer Snake There are many varieties of the Racer Snake found throughout North America, but the Blue Racer population has been steadily declining. At one time, this long slender, grayish-blue snake was found all over southern Ontario, Canada, Iowa and Ohio. As of 1995, however, there was only one small area in Ontario where the Blue Racer Snake could be found and its numbers had dropped to only 250 snakes. Though the Blue Racer Snake is protected against activities like capture, harassment, trade, and killing, the Blue Racer Snake's numbers continue to decline. Green Turtle While all Green Turtles are threatened, it is the population off the coasts of Florida and Mexico that are closest to extinction. Because they live in the sea, it is hard to know exact population numbers. All we can do is count how many breeding females come to shore each year to lay their eggs. At last count, there were between 200 and 1,100 breeding Green Turtle females. The turtles have been commercially harvested for eggs and food. Other turtle parts are used for leather and jewelry.

Wisconsin Herpetology Homepage [exit DNR] Other Species and Community Information Natural Heritage Inventory Working List Western Slender Glass Lizard Ophisaurus attenuatus Hold mouse over picture to view a distribution map. Family: Anguidae Size: 18-27 in. with tail Status: Endangered Description: This legless lizard is often mistaken for a snake. However, unlike snakes, glass lizards have movable eyelids, external ear openings, long lateral body grooves and very rigid bodies. The tail makes up about two-thirds of the lizard’s length. Body color varies from tan to brown or bronze, and a thin brown stripe runs down the center of the back, from the head well onto the tail. Two wider blackish stripes run along each side of the body and tail and on some glass lizards there are additional fine lines below the lateral groove. The belly is colored a solid pale yellow. Glass lizards inhabit oak savannas, the edges of open oak woodlands, and sand prairies, and require sandy soils for burrowing. Habitat loss and fragmentation are primarily responsible for its endangered status. Insects, including crickets, grasshoppers, and beetle larvae make up most of their diet, but they have been known to occasionally feed on bird eggs and very young mice.

Bioinformatics Student Projects Lizards of Victoria A Report on the Lizards of Victoria A List of Victoria's Lizards Name and Classification Conservation Status Distribution Maps ... The Lizards of Two Victorian Districts (Appendix) There are 87 lizard species known from Victoria. These consist of 52 species of skinks, 12 dragons, 11 legless lizards, 9 geckos and 3 goannas or monitors. Seven lizards are classified as 'endangered', five are classified as 'critically endangered', and many others are more restricted in their range than was the case prior to European settlement. The production of a report on the lizards of Victoria as a class project will provide students with an understanding of the distribution and environmental requirements of a fascinating part of Victoria's wildlife, while introducing them to the potential of bioinformatics. The project can be easily organised by allocating one species of lizard to each student in the class to research through the database, and supplementing this with additional information from library or web resources. When the students have finished their research, the results could be presented as short individual reports on each lizard and then combined as a class poster or publication. 1.

Bioinformatics Student Projects A Report on the Lizards of Your District A Report on the Lizards of Your District What lizards have been recorded in your district? Name and Classification Conservation Status Distribution Maps ... How Unique are the Lizards of Your District? Use the information in the Victorian Lizards data base to prepare a report on the lizards that live in your district at present, and the lizards that have lived in your district in the past. You should obtain quite good results even if you live in a very urbanised area - the database allows the selection of quite large 'districts' and includes sightings recorded over the last 100 years. The Report on the Lizards of Your District could be an individual student project, but is probably best done as a class project, with each student in the class researching one lizard. Individual reports on each lizard could be presented as a poster or a talk to the class, while the final class report on the lizards of the district could be assembled and written up as an article for the school magazine, or a feature in the local newspaper. Whatever the format chosen, the report will be a useful addition to the environmental knowledge and awareness of the students and the school community. 1.

Ora (Komodo Island Monitor or Komodo Dragon) Varanus komodoensis Threats Hunting, poisoning, reduction of prey species , human encroachment STATUS: ESA ENDANGERED IUCN VULNERABLE SIZE: Length: Up to 10 feet (3 m) Weight: Up to 300 pounds (135 kg) HABITAT: Dry savanna , woodland thickets, forest fringes CURRENT RANGE: Komodo Island, western Flores Island, and nearby islands in Indonesia CONSERVATION: CITES trade restrictions; although not in immediate danger of extinction , the small range of oras indicates that some management is required Oras caught in the wild don't survive well in captivity. They don't reproduce readily, and often die from infections and parasitic diseases. But some hatchlings born in zoos (including one born in 1992 at the National Zoo in Washington, DC) have done well. Young oras live in trees, feeding on insects, until they're about a year old and three feet long. Then they move permanently to the ground. This strategy helps preserve the species; small oras on the ground are sometimes preyed on by adults. The ora's yellow tongue and repulsive mouth odor may have been the inspiration for legends of fire-breathing dragons.

Gila Monster Heloderma suspectum During the winter, when the animals hibernate, they live off the fat stored in their tails. Threats habitat loss resulting from urban development and road building STATUS: IUCN VULNERABLE SIZE: Length: 15-23 inches (38-58 cm), largest lizard native to U.S. POPULATION Unknown, but presumably small CONSERVATION: CITES trade restrictions Reluctant Monster There is nothing very monstrous about the gila monster unless you're a young mouse or a baby bird. Gila monsters are the largest lizards native to North America, but they're less than two feet long. They live in the deserts of Mexico and the southwestern U.S., preying on the young of small mammals, nestling birds, and bird and tortoise eggs that they find in mesquite scrub. They are stout-bodied lizards with short legs and a short, fat tail. They're covered with bright irregular markings, usually pink, yellow or white, against black or brown scales. They are shy, retiring creatures unless they're provoked. Then they can be dangerous because they secrete a neurotoxin a poison that destroys nerve tissue from their salivary glands. In humans, their bite can result in severe pain and even death. Using their strong, thick claws, gila monsters can climb into low bushes in search of food, but they don't do it very often; they prefer to stay on the ground. In fact, they spend most of their time underground, often in the burrows of small mammals. In some areas, they are nocturnal; in others they are active during the day. During the winter, they hibernate.

Listing of endangered populations is provided for by Part 2 of the Act. The Scientific Committee has found that: Egernia whitii is a ubiquitous medium sized skink that is abundant across a variety of habitats (mostly rocky habitats) in eastern Australia. It is a variable species which occurs in two main colour morphs. In the most common morph, the ground colour is dark brown with paler mid-vertebral and shoulder stripes. A series of pale spots, forming a broken line, are found between the stripes. The flanks are paler than the back and are speckled with both darker and lighter spots. In the less common morph, the upper surface is pale brown, with few or no markings. The shoulder area has numerous darker spots and blotches. It has a snout vent length of up to 100 mm (Cogger 2000).
