Details for Fiji Crested Iguana

• Fiji Crested Iguana

  The Fiji Crested Iguana (Brachylophus vitiensis) is a critically endangered species of arboreal lizard found only on a few islands in Fiji. It is distinguished by its vibrant green coloration, vertical white bands, and a prominent crest of spines running from its neck to its tail. These iguanas can grow up to 75 cm (30 inches) in length, including their long tails. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, fruits, and flowers. Nocturnal and excellent climbers, they spend most of their lives in trees. Their survival is gravely threatened by habitat destruction and introduced predators.
