Lesser Antillean Iguanas (Iguana delicatissima) are critically endangered or have been extirpated on many of the islands where they occurred his-
torically. Principal threats are habitat destruction, exploitation of adults and eggs for food, contamination of the gene pool by hybridization with
introduced Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana), and invasive predators like cats, dogs, and mongooses. Only on Dominica do these lizards remain abun-
dant. This young individual was feasting on leaves in a Noni Tree (Morinda citrifolia) overlooking Champagne Beach, a favorite diving site.
