Did you know that one of the reasons the Fijian Crested Iguana on Malolo Island was nearly wiped out was because invasive predators would kill the females as they descended from the tree canopies where they live to lay their eggs in the ground? Check out one of the captive females from the Iguana Assurance Colony who has just come up from digging her egg nest in the dirt in her cage, ready to lay her eggs. The Iguana Assurance Colony has four captive breeding pairs and 11 hatchlings in the sanct

Two critically endangered Fijian crested iguana hatchlings (Brachylophus vitiensis) have arrived at the Australian Reptile Park after being incubated for 221 days. The pair have been named “Vokai” and “Saumuri” — Vokai means iguana in Fijian, while Saumuri is how they’re known to some tribes — and are doing well. They’ve been monching down on some leafy greens and have both passed their initial health checks. In the wild, these iguanas are vulnerable to attacks from invasive species like rats an

This striking Fijian Crested Iguana, with its vibrant green color and spiky crest, is found only on a few islands in Fiji. This little one is just 5 months old, but adults can reach up to 75cm in length! Conservation efforts, including those at Likuliku Lagoon Resort Fiji, are helping to ensure these beautiful lizards continue to thrive in their native habitat. 🎥 @likulikulagoonresort #fiji #wherehappinesscomesnaturally #fijihappy #nature #wildlife #iguana #iguanaconservation #travel | Tourism

More Baby Iguanas! Spring has certainly sprung with the birth of 3 more Fiji Crested Iguana hatchlings in our captive breeding colony. These little guys are also the offspring of our most famous iguana "Malolo", who is the star of our conservation program. "Malolo" was found at Likuliku 11 years ago and now has 5 offspring! Another exciting milestone for the Malolo Island critically endangered Fiji Crested Iguanas. #likulikulagoon #likulikulagoonresort #likuliku #Fiji #fijianowned #fijiislands #

Meet one of Tropical Discovery's newest residents: an endangered Fiji-banded iguana who joins us from Zoo Tampa. #ICYMI, we gave you a sneak peak of him for World Iguana Day, but we're so excited to share that he is out in his habitat and ready to meet you. This species is endemic to the Fijian archipelago, where they are threatened by habitat loss of native forest trees, predation by introduced domestic cats, mongoose, and rats, and the pet trade. | Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance

Since we’ve had Fiji, she’s been letting us know that her tail is back and she’s ready to use it 😅 Iguanas tailwhip as a defense mechanism. When threatened, they use their powerful tails to strike predators, deterring them from attacking. The whip-like motion can cause pain and injury, helping the iguana escape danger. Fiji is looking for her forever home. If you’d like to adopt Fiji, please apply on our website at http://asheddingchance.com/?page_id=562 . . . #iguana #rescue #iguanalovers #igu

🦎 Shifting Shades of Survival 🦎 Fiji banded iguanas are not just stunning—they’re expressive. These incredible reptiles change color based on how they feel: bright green when calm, dark green when stressed, and black when they feel seriously threatened. Sadly, their population has dropped by nearly 50% over the last few decades, and they’ve disappeared from some islands entirely. Habitat loss from mining, logging, forest burning, and agriculture continues to threaten their future. Every shade
