Iguana Check You Out

During the afternoon, we checked out the Iguana Research Station. Despite a ban on hunting, the Swamper (a mangrove-living indigenous Iguana) is endangered because some people Just Don't Get It. The Iguana Research Station has a recovery and breeding program to try and save the species. Their more landlocked bretheren, the Green and Highland varieties, are doing very well. The Swampers are hunted by waiting for the females to lay their eggs on the sandy beaches, where they're slow and single-minded.
