Here is some of the animal life on these islands. I hope to capture more before leaving.
A water iguana
Sally Lightfoot crabs. They can get quite large and use to be plentiful, but man took care of that and now they can only be harvested in season.

The Giant Iguana at the Darwin Research Station
The baby tortoise are born inside an egg and the park people dig them up immediately after the mother buries them in the ground. They are placed in incubators are raised till ready to be released into the jungle.
The young are carefully controlled till set free.
Below is one of many different patterns on the local lizards
