81. Cyclura - General Information About The Genus lizards of the genus Cyclura are among the most endangered lizards because much oftheir fragile island habitat has been either destroyed by human development http://islands.bio.miami.edu/Targets/Rock Iguanas/

Cyclura - General Information about the genus: The Genus Cyclura is composed of eight species of West Indian rock iguanas that inhabit tropical dry forests and pine barrens throughout the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas (Alberts et al. 1997). Cyclura is a distinct lineage that is not closely related to any other iguanine (Malone et al. 2000). Endemism in this genus is extreme; each distinct lineage is restricted to only one island or one small island group (Malone et al. 2000). The general pattern of Cyclura radiation reflects a southeast to northwest directionality (Malone et al. 2000). Of the eight existing rock iguana species, three species are found on the islands of the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos: C. carinata C. cychlura , and C. rileyi (Malone et al. 2000, Buckner and Blair 2000b, Gerber and Iverson 2000). Rock iguanas are the largest and most conspicuous lizards in the western hemisphere, inhabiting islands throughout the Greater and Lesser Antilles and the Bahamas (IUCN Specialist Group Reports 1998, Shedd Aquarium 2001). Cyclura lizards are large herbivorous lizards and are the largest native herbivores on many West Indian islands (Hartley et al. 2000, Shedd Aquarium 2001). Different populations of the same species of rock iguana may use remarkably different food resource plants, even if the vegetation of the habitats may be similar; such observations suggest that learning by the lizards and local variation in plant palatability may be important factors in determining diet (Auffenberg 1975). In addition to plants, rock iguanas may also consume other foods to obtain protein.

Population studies of endangered kangaroo rats and blunt-nosed leopard lizards in the Carrizo Plain Natural Area, California Published in: California Department of Fish and Game, Nongame Bird and Mammal Section Rep. 93-01, 114 pp., 1993 by Daniel F. Williams David J. Germano and Walter Tordoff III Abstract From July 1987 through December 1991, we studied interactions between cattle, the plant community, giant kangaroo rats ( Dipodomys ingens ), and blunt-nosed leopard lizards ( Gambelia sila ) in the Carrizo Plain Natural Area, with lesser efforts on short-nosed kangaroo rats ( D. nitratoides brevinasus ) and San Joaquin antelope squirrels ( Ammospermophilus nelsoni ). The main study sites were on the Elkhorn Plain, San Luis Obispo County, with additional sites on the Carrizo Plain, San Luis Obispo County, and along Panoche Creek in Fresno County, California. Impacts of cattle grazing on populations of kangaroo rats and blunt-nosed leopard lizards were not apparent statistically, but grazing only occurred during a 20-month period. Numbers of short-nosed kangaroo rats declined throughout the study, reaching a lowpoint in spring 1991 when none were captured. An increase in density of giant kangaroo rats in 1988 and 1989 may have contributed to the decline of short-nosed kangaroo rats. No recruitment of young was seen between summers 1988 and 1991. Numbers of giant kangaroo rats increased in 1988, remained high in 1989 despite drought, probably because of large seed stores made in 1988, declined to a lowpoint in spring 1991, then began to increase in summer 1991. Estimated densities varied from about 59/ha in springs of 1988 and 1989 to

Blunt-Nosed Leopard Lizard FWS Photo BLUNT-NOSED LEOPARD LIZARD Gambelia silus CLASSIFICATION: Federal Endangered Species Federal Register 32:4001; March 11, 1967) CRITICAL HABITAT: None designated RECOVERY PLAN: The Recovery Plan for the Upland Species of the San Joaquin Valley , September 30. 1998. DESCRIPTION: The blunt-nosed leopard lizard ( Gambelia silus ) is a relatively large lizard the Iguanidae family. It has a long, regenerative tail, long, powerful hind limbs, and a short, blunt snout. Adult males are slightly larger than females, ranging in size from 3.4 to 4.7 inches in length, excluding tail. Females are 3.4 to 4.4 inches long. Males weigh 1.3 to 1.5 ounces, females 0.8 to 1.2. Blunt-nosed leopard lizards feed primarily on insects (particularly grasshoppers, crickets and moths), other lizards and occasionally plant material. Although blunt-nosed leopard lizards are darker than other leopard lizards, they exhibit tremendous variation in color and pattern on their backs. Their background color ranges from yellowish or light gray-brown to dark brown, depending on the surrounding soil color and vegetation. Their undersides are uniformly white. They have rows of dark spots across their backs, alternating with white, cream-colored or yellow bands. See the Recovery Plan for more details about identification.

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).

I. INTRODUCTION The California legless lizard ( Anniella pulchra Gray 1852; Sauria: Anniellidae) is a fossorial (burrowing) animal that typically inhabits sand or loose soil ( Fig. 1 They are nearly endemic to California, but also found in northern Baja California (Stebbins 1954, Hunt 1984, Bury 1985, Jennings 1987, Jennings and Hayes 1994). State agencies regard Anniella pulchra as a Species of Special Concern because of human impacts to coastal dune habitats (Jennings and Hayes 1994, California Department of Fish and Game 2000). Two unofficial designations for A. pulchra primarily reflect differences in dorsal coloration and distribution (Hunt 1983, Hunt and Zander 1997). Very dark animals are commonly called black legless lizards (subspecies A. p. nigra) , and most workers refer to lighter colored adults as silvery legless lizards (subspecies A. p. pulchra). Genetic studies are inconclusive, especially those comparing populations in central California (Murphy and Smith 1985, Jennings 1987, Hunt and Zander 1997). Proposed amendments to the nomenclature (addition of subspecies designations) remain unchanged.

There are eight species with a total of Rock iguanas inhabit fragile ecosystems and have suffered greatly activities and introduced (foreign) animals. Today, these reptiles are endangered group of lizards, several species verging on extinction. Tremendous efforts have gone into aiding the recovery of two critically endangered lizards, the Jamaican iguana and the Grand Cayman iguana. The Jamaican iguana (Cyclura collie) has a remarkable story. Fear extinct for nearly half a century, this adult specimen in a rugged region of southeastern Jamaica. Regarded as the surviving population is estimated between 50 and 200. Residing in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, the Rhinoceros Iguana (Cyclura cornuta) is an endangered species. This population remains intact probably because of because of its remoteness and inaccessibility of the harsh, dry ecosystem in which

Conservation Projects AZA Species Survival Plan Profile: West Indian Rock Iguanas The West Indian rock iguanas, Cyclura, Though zoos have long been concerned with the plight of these impressive dinosaur-like lizards, it was only recently that a coordinated effort was made to respond to it. At the inaugural meeting of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) Lizard Advisory Group (LAG) in 1990, Cyclura were designated as their highest conservation priority. Since then, several landmark events have occurred in which zoos played key roles and provided strong leadership for rock iguana conservation. These events, plus the tremendous efforts that have gone into forging in situ partnerships to aid in the recovery of two critically endangered rock iguanas, have recently culminated in the formation of the AZA's first lizard Species Survival Plan (SSP), the West Indian Rock Iguana SSP. The rock iguana that most people are familiar with, and the one most often seen is zoos, is the rhino iguana (Cyclura cornuta) from Hispaniola. Though rhino iguanas have proved excellent surrogates for gaining husbandry experience over the years, this species' status in the wild is fairly secure; thus, it will not be the primary focus of the Rock Iguana SSP. Instead, this SSP will concentrate its attention on two of the most critically endangered lizards in the world: the Grand Cayman iguana
