The Roatan Spiny-Tailed Iguanas

Did you know that the Roatan Spiny-tailed Iguanas (Ctenosaura oedirhina) are found only on the island of Roatan. This iguana was only recognized as a separate species from Ctenosaura bakeri in 1987, and was given the species name “oedirhina” because of its rounded snout.

The Roatan Spiny-tailed Iguana is omnivorous and can use all habitats occurring on the island (including urban areas).

This species is threatened mainly by illegal hunting for consumption by humans and predation by domestic cats and dogs, but habitat loss and fragmentation also contribute to their endangered status. Hunting pressure is so intense that they are only found in higher densities in small, privately protected areas across the island. The vast majority of the estimated 4,500 iguana live in less than 1% of the island’s area.

These important locations are protected by a grass-roots movement of local land owners and managers. Additionally, less than 1% of the iguanas live outside of these protected areas and densities are extremely low, only 1 to 5 iguanas per 0.4 square miles, if they occur at all.

Since 2009 the International Iguana Foundation has been conducting research, studies and looking for ways to help preserve this unique species that is only found in Roatan. To find out how you can assist their important work, click below.
