DescriptionCyclura rileyi rileyi (San Salvador rock iguana) (Green Cay, offshore from northwestern San Salvador Island, Bahamas) 5 (15418496034).jpg
Cyclura rileyi rileyi (Stejneger, 1903) - male San Salvador rock iguana.
This lizard is one of the rarest reptiles on Earth. The species is sexually dimorphic: males are larger and have more prominent dorsal crests (see above), while females have smaller body size and small dorsal crests (see elsewhere in this album). Population estimates indicate that only several hundred individuals exist on Earth today. San Salvador rock iguanas are principally herbivores.
The rocks are eolian aragonitic calcarenite limestones of Pleistocene age (probably the Owl's Hole Formation, Middle Pleistocene).
