Lesser Antillean Iguana

The Lesser Antillean Iguana is a large arboreal lizard endemic to the Lesser Antilles.

Successful captive breeding of this species has been limited to only two instances as most captive laid eggs tend to be infertile. Another common name for it is the West Indian iguana, though this is more commonly used for species of the genus Cyclura.
