IUCN SSC Iguana Specialist Group © Jeff Lemm Working to Save the World's Most Endangered Lizards The Iguana Specialist Group (ISG) works to study and conserve iguanas and their habitats. We are a branch of the Species Survival Commission of the IUCN - The World Conservation Union, the world's oldest and largest international conservation organization. ISG was originally formed as the West Indian Iguana Specialist group in 1996. West Indian iguanas are among the most endangered lizards in the world. In some cases, populations of thousands have declined to only a few hundred individuals. Because they are important seed dispersers for many native plants, the loss of West Indian iguanas has serious consequences for the ecosystems in which they live. One of the primary missions of the ISG is to establish liaisons with people working in countries where these iguanas live. Currently, we have members in Antigua, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the British Channel Islands, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, France, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands Antilles, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 2000, we expanded our scope to include all species of lizard in the family iguanidae. Inclusive in our active membership are conservationists who study iguanas on Fiji Island, the Galapagos Islands, and in Mexico.

Blue Racer Snake There are many varieties of the Racer Snake found throughout North America, but the Blue Racer population has been steadily declining. At one time, this long slender, grayish-blue snake was found all over southern Ontario, Canada, Iowa and Ohio. As of 1995, however, there was only one small area in Ontario where the Blue Racer Snake could be found and its numbers had dropped to only 250 snakes. Though the Blue Racer Snake is protected against activities like capture, harassment, trade, and killing, the Blue Racer Snake's numbers continue to decline. Green Turtle While all Green Turtles are threatened, it is the population off the coasts of Florida and Mexico that are closest to extinction. Because they live in the sea, it is hard to know exact population numbers. All we can do is count how many breeding females come to shore each year to lay their eggs.

Ora (Komodo Island Monitor or Komodo Dragon) Varanus komodoensis Threats Hunting, poisoning, reduction of prey species , human encroachment STATUS: ESA ENDANGERED IUCN VULNERABLE SIZE: Length: Up to 10 feet (3 m) Weight: Up to 300 pounds (135 kg) HABITAT: Dry savanna , woodland thickets, forest fringes CURRENT RANGE: Komodo Island, western Flores Island, and nearby islands in Indonesia CONSERVATION: CITES trade restrictions; although not in immediate danger of extinction , the small range of oras indicates that some management is required Oras caught in the wild don't survive well in captivity. They don't reproduce readily, and often die from infections and parasitic diseases. But some hatchlings born in zoos (including one born in 1992 at the National Zoo in Washington, DC) have done well. Young oras live in trees, feeding on insects, until they're about a year old and three feet long. Then they move permanently to the ground. This strategy helps preserve the species; small oras on the ground are sometimes preyed on by adults. The ora's yellow tongue and repulsive mouth odor may have been the inspiration for legends of fire-breathing dragons.

Gila Monster Heloderma suspectum During the winter, when the animals hibernate, they live off the fat stored in their tails. Threats habitat loss resulting from urban development and road building STATUS: IUCN VULNERABLE SIZE: Length: 15-23 inches (38-58 cm), largest lizard native to U.S. POPULATION Unknown, but presumably small CONSERVATION: CITES trade restrictions Reluctant Monster There is nothing very monstrous about the gila monster unless you're a young mouse or a baby bird. Gila monsters are the largest lizards native to North America, but they're less than two feet long. They live in the deserts of Mexico and the southwestern U.S., preying on the young of small mammals, nestling birds, and bird and tortoise eggs that they find in mesquite scrub. They are stout-bodied lizards with short legs and a short, fat tail. They're covered with bright irregular markings, usually pink, yellow or white, against black or brown scales. They are shy, retiring creatures unless they're provoked. Then they can be dangerous because they secrete a neurotoxin a poison that destroys nerve tissue from their salivary glands. In humans, their bite can result in severe pain and even death. Using their strong, thick claws, gila monsters can climb into low bushes in search of food, but they don't do it very often; they prefer to stay on the ground. In fact, they spend most of their time underground, often in the burrows of small mammals. In some areas, they are nocturnal; in others they are active during the day. During the winter, they hibernate.

Learn About The Endangered SHORT-HORNED LIZARD SHORT-HORNED LIZARD SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATION KINGDOM Animalia PHYLUM Chordata CLASS Reptilia ORDER Squamata FAMILY Iguanidae GENUS Phrynosoma SPECIES douglassii Common Name Short-horned lizard The Short-horned lizard is a reptile. It is a genus of short-tailed, short-legged lizards in the iguana family. They are called "horned" for the hornlike spines on the back of the head and sides of the body. They are also called "toad" for their rounded, toadlike shape. This lizards are found mostly in dry regions of the western United States and Mexico. What is a reptile? The word reptile means "crawling animal," but this is not the only feature that distinguishes these interesting animals. Reptiles are a diverse group with a wide array of extinct lineages represented today by lizards, snakes, turtles, and crocodiles. Reptiles have several adaptations for terrestrial living not generally found in amphibians including the shelled egg and a waterproof skin. They are cold-blooded, backboned animals that breathe air. All reptiles are covered with scales or modified scales which are dry and firm.

The Gila monster is found in the desert regions of Arizona, New Mexico and northwestern Mexico. The beaded lizard is found only in Mexico, south of the range of the Gila monster. The Gila monster got its name from the Gila Basin, in Arizona. The Gila monsters are heavy-bodied lizards with large heads and powerful jaws. It is a stout animal which usually weighs 3 - 5 pounds. Its length varies from 12 - 24 inches for an adult. It has a thick, short tail which contains fat storage that the animal can survive on, when there is no food or when the animal is in hibernation.

Pygmy Short-horned Lizard (British Columbia Population) Status: Extirpated The Pygmy short-horned lizard (Phrynosoma douglassii douglassii) may have a mouthful of a name, but the reptile would not make a very big snack. The adults of the species grow to only 6 to 10 centimetres in length, and weigh only 10 grams. The Pygmy short-horned lizard gets its name from its size (a Pygmy is an anthropology term meaning a group of humans who usually grown no taller than 1.5 metres or 5 feet tall) and from the size of its horns, which are short when compared to other lizards. This lizard has a short tail, spines on its head and scales along the sides of its abdomen. It also has short arms and legs and a blunt snout. They can be brown, reddish tan, or gray with pale yellow or whitish bellies. This lizard loves to eat ants or other small insects, and will stop eating up to a month before they hibernate. In October, the lizard will dig a shallow hole in the sand or dirt and stay under the ground until April. Short-horned lizards catch their food by sitting very still and hiding themselves through camouflage (a disguise using visual trickery to blend into the environment). If something tries to attack the lizard, they open their mouths very wide and puff up their bodies to seem larger than they really are.

However, it remains a species of management concern.) Historical Status: The eastern short-horned lizard appears to have a historic distribution range similar to its present distribution range. Habitat loss and habitat fragmentation has lowered the numbers of the species. Present Status: The eastern short-horned lizard is found in the western counties of the Dakotas to northeastern Montana and adjacent Canada, south to eastern Colorado and extreme northeastern Utah. In Wyoming and Colorado the eastern short-horned lizard is no longer present in several large areas. The species is locally common in the semi-arid short grass plains of the extreme western portion of Nebraska. In North Dakota the eastern short-horned lizards have been found along the Little Missouri River and Knife River drainages in the counties of Williams, Divide, McKenzie, Golden Valley, Billings, Slope, Dunn, and Bowman. Habitat: The eastern short-horned lizard frequents shortgrass prairie, sagebrush, open rocky or sandy plains, and open pinon-juniper, pine-spruce, and spruce-fir forests. Typically, the species inhabits hot dry or semiarid regions, such as the shortgrass plains in rather rough terrain. The soils may be stony, sandy, or firm, but usually some fine loose soil is present. The species is often found under or around sagebrush plants.

North Dakota's Federally Listed Endangered, Threatened, and Candidate Species 1995 Northern Sagebrush Lizard ( Sceloporus graciosus graciosus Status: Former Candidate (Note: As of February 28, 1996, this species is no longer listed as a Candidate species. However, it remains a species of management concern.) Historical Status: The northern sagebrush lizard appears to have a historic range similar to its present range, although slightly smaller. Habitat loss and habitat fragmentation have lowered the numbers of the northern sagebrush lizards within their range. Present Status: The northern sagebrush lizard is present from southwestern North Dakota to southeastern Oregon and southward to northwestern New Mexico. In North Dakota there have been reports of northern sagebrush lizards in the counties of McKenzie and Slope. Habitat: The northern sagebrush lizard inhabits areas of desert floors, mountain slopes, forested slopes, and open flat lands. Sagebrush areas are favorite haunts, although they seldom climb into the bushes. The species occurs mainly on fine gravel soils, sandy soils, and rocky soils which are adjacent to water. Essentially terrestrial, seldom climbs, and usually remains close to rocks, crevices, and holes which it uses as shelter. Life History: The nortbern sagebrush lizard is active from late April to mid-September. The species is easily disturbed and immediately seeks refuge in crevices, in rodent burrows, and under surface plants when alarmed. The reproductive season lasts from May to mid-July. The females lay a single clutch of 2 to 7 eggs about 1 inch deep in loose soil usually at the base of a shrub. Hatchlings appear in mid-August. Diet consists mainly of ants, spiders, mites, ticks, and other insect types. Snakes are the main predator of the northern sagebrush lizard.
