Fijian Banded Iguana

Brachylophus bulabula (central Fijian Banded Iguana) is a species of iguanid lizard endemic to some of the larger central and northwestern islands of Fiji (Ovalau, Kadavu, and Viti Levu), where it occurs in Fijian wet forest. In 2008, a group from the Australian National University led by a scientist described it. It is one of the few iguana species found outside of the new world and one of the Iguanidae family's geographically remotest members. Originally reported from Gau Island as well, B. gau was identified as a distinct species in 2017.

They can grow up to 2 feet long and have an average lifespan of 10-15 years. However, there have been some captive Fiji banded iguanas that have lived as long as 25 years. Tropical wet islands between 650 and 1700 feet above sea level are the typical habitat of the Fijian-banded iguana. They also like to bask in temperatures ranging from 75 degrees- 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The areas that are most suitable for Fiji-banded iguanas are Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Ovalau, Viwa, and Kadavu. Males are typically green with blue stripes and the females are green with white stripes.
