The Galápagos Pink Land Iguana is one of the rarest reptiles on Earth, exclusively found on the Wolf Volcano of Isabela Island in the Galápagos.
Known for its unique pink and black striped coloration, this iguana provides a striking example of nature's camouflage, blending seamlessly with the volcanic landscape. Discovered only in 1986 and officially described in 2009, the Pink Land Iguana is critically endangered, with fewer than 200 individuals remaining in the wild. As herbivores, they play a crucial role in the island's ecosystem by feeding on cacti and other vegetation.
Conservation efforts are critical to protect this remarkable species and its delicate habitat from the threats of environmental changes and human activities.
