Coloring Book Puzzle Game The Hula Dance Hawaiian Royalty ... Home Rainbow Lizards Endangered Species Because of its isolated location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii is virtually cut off from the outside world. Over tens of thousands of years, the native animal population of the islands evolved unique characteristics only found in Hawaii. When Europeans visited Hawaii they introduced foreign types of plants, insects, and other animals. These "foreign invaders" flourished and found the natural inhabitants of the islands easy prey. Due to this, Hawaii's native creatures are in trouble and has earned Hawaii the dubious title of the "endangered species capital of the world." The Rainbow Lizards value our environment. . . .

Who's Watching Out for Endangered Species? by Erin Guffey and Rachel Mori photography by Jim Rathert Two kids spend a day learning the answers. Amy Salveter, Erin Guffrey and Rachel Mori (left to right) spent a day hiking, observing wildlife-such as lizards-and talking about ways to help Missouri's endangered species. We had the opportunity to interview Amy Salveter, who is the endangered species coordinator for the Department of Conservation. A major part of Amy's job is to watch over the natural resources of Missouri and to help protect the endangered species of plants and animals in Missouri. Part of her job is to make sure that the people who work for the Conservation Department are running projects to protect endangered species. Her co-workers are always doing surveys of plants and animals to make sure they are being helped and not harmed by the projects. They also watch over plants and animals that are not endangered to make sure they are not harmed, either. Amy also hikes through natural areas to study the wildlife and habitat. She helps train agents and land managers to look for people who may be abusing the animals or landscape. Poaching and digging up endangered plants is illegal, and people are fined for doing it. As a result of Amy's job, glades and other natural areas are protected. We had the pleasure of taking a long hike on Valley View Glades Natural Area with Amy and seeing many interesting plants and animals. In the glades, we saw purple cone flowers, one of the protected species that are sometimes dug up illegally by people to be used as medicine. While we were in the woods, Amy pointed out many birds, such as warblers and hummingbirds, that had migrated to Missouri for the summer from South America and Central America.

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) prohibits commercial trade in species which are threatened with extinction and controls and monitors trade in many other species to ensure that trade is at sustainable levels. Appendix I of CITES lists species recognized as threatened with extinction. Trade in these species and any products made from them for primarily commercial purposes is prohibited. Appendix II lists species that are not currently threatened with extinction, but may become so unless trade is strictly regulated to avoid over-exploitation.

Region 1 Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi) Vernal pool invertebrate surveys funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) Oregon State Office have revealed the presence of this threatened crustacean within several pools in the Agate Desert near Medford, Oregon. One of four vernal pool invertebrates listed in 1994, this animal has a relatively wide distribution in California vernal pools. Prior to this discovery, its northernmost known location was south of Mount Shasta, California, 80 miles (128 kilometers) south of the Agate Desert area. Vernal pools in the Agate Desert area have been recognized as a rare and imminently threatened natural community type. The FWS is cooperating with a number of Federal, State, county, city, and private stakeholders in an effort to develop a vernal pool conservation plan for the Agate Desert area.

Contact us North Wales Lizard lounge set up for endangered species Sep 10 2004 By Carl Butler, Daily Post SAND lizards yesterday were back sunning themselves in the wild in North Wales yesterday. For the first time, the lizards were released into sand dunes in Denbighshire. It marked the 10th anniversary of similar programmes in Flintshire and Meirionydd, which have given the species a new lease of life. Environmentalists say the rare sand lizards are now repopulating former strongholds on the sand dunes in North Wales. Dr Liz Howe, the Countryside Council for Wales' species expert, said: "One hundred sand lizards, bred in captivity at Chester and Jersey zoos as well as a back garden in Sussex, are being reintroduced to dunes in north east Wales. "The exact location is being kept secret at the moment to make sure that the lizards have time to adapt to their new surroundings." "The project has been a resounding success over the past decade. We've seen numbers increase strongly, as the lizards are now breeding naturally." It is the rarest of the three types of native lizards in Wales, and became extinct from the dunes in the 1960s. Gary Davies of Denbighshire Countryside Service said: "It is a great loss when any species, large or small, is pushed into extinction for whatever the reason.

Contact Us Front Page National Geographic Channel Smallest Known Lizard Found in Caribbean The researchers collected eight of the lizards for further study. The research is published in the Caribbean Journal of Science. Not Endangered Because its habitat is remote, S. ariasae is not currently endangered. But for many species of reptiles and amphibians that occupy specific habitats in the Caribbean forests, once the vegetation is gone, the fauna is likely to follow. During an assessment of amphibians in the Caribbean commissioned by the World Conservation Union, Hedges found that of 170 amphibians, almost half were endangered. "Of these, only one is currently classified as endangered," he said. "I think I would probably get about the same numbers for reptiles." Beata is part of the Jaragua National Park in the Dominican Republic. Although all its flora and fauna are protected, Hedges said the island is not adequately protected to prevent further illegal deforestation. "What I have seen raises a lot of red flags," he said. Many species live in specific niches in small areas of forest. Once these forests are gone, the animals continue to live out their lives "like the living dead," but the environment doesn't support further generations, Hedges said.

Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard (Uma inornata) The Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard is a small, highly specialized reptile that inhabits the windblown desert regions of the Coachella Valley in Riverside County, California. It derives its common name not only from its home, but also from the enlarged scales along its toes. This lizard has adapted other unique forms and structures to enable it to survive in the harsh desert habitat including a wedged-shaped nose which enables it to burrow through loose, fine sand, elongated scales cover the ears to keep out blowing sand, and specialized nostrils that allow it to breathe below the sand without inhaling sand particles.

76. Animal Fact Sheets Legless lizards belong to the family Anguidae, a family of around 80 species European legless lizards, also called glass lizards, range from the Balkans http://www.zoo.org/educate/fact_sheets/day/legless.htm

back European Legless (Glass) Lizard Ophisaurus apodus Classification and Range Legless lizards belong to the family Anguidae, a family of around 80 species that is largely confined to the Americas. Two species of this family occur in the Old World: the slow worm ( Anguis fragilis ) and the European legless lizard ( Ophisaurus apodus ), which is exhibited at Woodland Park Zoo. Although many members of this family lack limbs, this is not a characteristic of every anguid; many American anguid lizards have four well-developed limbs. European legless lizards, also called glass lizards, range from the Balkans as far as Istria (peninsula in northeastern Italy) and northeast Bulgaria. They are also found in Crimea, Caucasus and parts of southwest and central Asia. Habitat The European legless lizard is normally found in fairly dry habitats, often frequenting rocky hillsides with some cover. These lizards can also be found in dry stone walls, embankments and stone piles. They are diurnal and crepuscular, and are often active after rainfall. Length and Weight The European legless lizard is the largest lizard of its family, its average length (including tail) being 2-3 feet (.6-.9 m). The longest recorded European legless lizard was 4 feet (1.2 m). They normally weigh 11-21 ounces (300-600 g).

back Komodo Dragon Varanus komodoensis Classification and Range Komodo dragons are also known as Komodo monitors, or by the local Indonesian name, "ora." These giant lizards belong to the family Varanidae, which includes 52 species of monitor lizards. All varanids belong to a single genus. Varanus includes very tiny lizards only a few inches long to the immense Komodo dragon. Komodo dragons live on four southeastern Indonesian islands in the Lesser Sunda region: Flores, Gili Motang, Komodo and Rinca. As recent as the 1970s, their habitat also included the island of Padar. If you like this animal and find it particularly fascinating you can adopt it! Habitat Komodo dragons inhabit hot, seasonally arid grasslands, savannas and monsoon forests. They live mostly in the lowlands, but have occasionally been found at elevations up to 1,967 feet (600 m). Physical Characteristics Male length: Commonly up to 9 feet (2.75 m) long, including tail, although the record is slightly over 10 feet (3 m).

78. Slender Glass Lizard The slender glass lizard was placed on the Wisconsin endangered and ThreatenedSpecies List in 1979 due to its reduced range and numbers. http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/er/factsheets/herps/Slnliz.htm

Slender Glass Lizard (Ophisaurus attenuatus) Legal status in U.S .: None Legal Status in WI : Endangered Length : 18-36 inches Description Breeding Biology Habits Distribution and Habitat Preference ... Excerpt from the Animal Guide For information on Wisconsin's turtles and lizards including an identification key and more, order your copy of Description The descriptive name for this slender creature is appropriate. When caught this reptile will energetically twist and jump trying to escape, and in the process may shed its tail which can break into many pieces, hence the name slender glass lizard. Also called the glass snake or legless lizard, the slender glass lizard has a pointed snout, narrow head, and a long cylindrical body with no limbs. Because of its snake-like appearance the slender glass lizard is often mistaken for a snake. The slender glass lizard differs from a true snake in that it has eyelids and external ear openings, which snakes lack. In Wisconsin the average total length is 18-24 inches (45-61 cm), although an animal may reach up to 36 inches (91 cm), two-thirds of which may be tail. The slender glass lizard's body is tan, brown or bronze. A dark brown to black stripe runs along the middle of the back from head to tail. Two additional dark brown to black stripes run immediately above the lateral groove and four narrow stripes run below the groove. The side of the head and neck have scattered brown markings. The underside is white to light yellow.
