Land Iguana

There are two endemic species of land iguana on the Galapagos, both of which are yellow and live in the arid zones of the central and western islands. Their diet consists mainly of prickly pear cacti, which also supplies them with water. The number of land iguanas has drastically declined over the past years and they are now an endangered species.
