Land Iguana
The islands that get the most rainfall are above 300 meters, and South Plaza Island is one of the low flat islands. The island had a lot of Prickly Pear cacti, which are the primary food for the Land Iguanas. Here is one munching on a cactus. The Prickly Pears are dying on the island, and researchers are trying to find out why. Should the cacti disappear, the iguanas would disappear also because they would not have enough to eat.
