Galapagos Pink Iguana: A Rare and Bright Sighting

For this episode of Amazing Wildlife, we're taking a trip to the highest peak of the Galapagos Islands where a unique reptile calls home. The Galapagos Pink Iguana is so special that it was officially classified as its own species in 2009. Sadly, there are an estimated 200 to 300 remaining in nature. Hosts Rick and Ebone touch on the several obstacles young pink iguanas face in order to survive and disclose interesting facts about this critically endangered species. Later, Dr. Glen Gerber, a San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance scientist in population sustainability joins the show to explain his role to produce new solutions to improve conservation efforts for reptile species.
