1 How to Tell the Difference Between Native Rock Iguanas and Invasive Green Iguanas By Elaine A. Powers Illustrated by Anderson Atlas
2 Many of the islands in the Caribbean Sea, known as the West Indies, have native iguanas. They are called Rock Iguanas. Invasive Green Iguanas have been introduced on these islands and are a threat to the Rock Iguanas. They compete for food, territory and nesting areas. This booklet is designed to help you identify the native Rock Iguanas from the invasive Greens. Andros Island CAYMAN ISLANDS Grand Cayman CUBA D C Cayman Brac & Little Cayman H Allens Cay J I O N E Exumas Islands B White Cay JAMAICA Acklins Island BAHAMAS M G San Salvador Booby Cay F HISPANIOLA L P Turks & Caicos Q Mona Island West Indies PUERTO RICO Anegada K BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q Rock Iguanas (Cyclura) Cuban Rock Iguana (Cyclura nubila), Cuba Sister Isles Rock Iguana (Cyclura nubila caymanensis), Cayman Brac and Little Cayman Grand Cayman Blue Iguana (Cyclura lewisi), Grand Cayman Jamaican Rock Iguana (Cyclura collei), Jamaica Turks & Caicos Rock Iguana (Cyclura carinata), Turks and Caicos.

3 When you see an iguana, ask: What kind do I see? What species is that iguana in front of me? Is it an invasive Green or a native Rock, one of our own? Here are identification skills that you should hone. Do you see a big face scale, as round as can be? It s below the ear, that s where it will be. Then it s an invasive Green, get rid of it now. The local authorities will tell you how. 4 5
4 Subtympanic means below the ear. NO subtympanic or large face scale = Native This is a characteristic of the Green Iguana only. Subtympanic or large face scale = Non-Native 6 7
5 Another difference can be seen below the chin. Greens dewlaps have points or spines built-in......while native Rocks dewlaps have smooth skin. Points under the chin? It s a Green moving in. 8 9
6 There s more to see when you look at the tail,...while Rock iguanas tails have ridges or ribbing The difference is clear there, too--no fibbing. Every Green iguana has a smooth, striped tail
7 I m baby Green Iguana. See the large scale under my ear? Only Green Iguanas have this scale. I m baby Rock Iguana. No subtympanic scale on us! Native Rock Iguana s don t have this scale. EAR EAR SUBTYMPANIC SCALE NO SCALE 12 13
8 The Green Iguana is a native of Central and South America while Rock Iguanas only live on islands in the West Indies; rock iguanas have a high level of endemism with only a single species or subspecies found per island, except for Hispaniola that has two. Greens are raised for the international pet trade, resulting in their introduction throughout the world. Greens are more opportunistic feeders than the Rock Iguanas. In addition, Greens lay many more eggs than Rocks and mature faster. Consequently, they are able to rapidly increase their population numbers to outcompete the native rock iguanas. Both types of iguanas are herbivorous. Rock iguanas are so named because they usually retreat into rocks. Greens head for the trees. Keep your dogs on a leash! Keep your cats indoors! Dogs and cats are great hunters, that much we know. Did no one realize how many iguanas would go? Remember to keep your dog on a leash, Or more lives of native iguanas will cease. Remember to keep your cats indoors. Do not let them outside to explore. Dogs and cats were introduced by men. That they re predators is beyond the iguanas ken. Dogs kill adult natives and cats kill the babies. Rock Iguanas should be safe, don t you agree? 14 15
9 Now you know who should stay and who should go. Be a friend to Rock Iguanas. See a Green Iguana? Report what you know.
