About this species
The Lesser Antillean iguana (Iguana delicatissima) is a large arboreal lizard endemic to the Lesser Antilles. It is one of two species of lizard of the genus Iguana and is in severe decline due to habitat destruction, introduced feral predators, hunting, and hybridization with its introduced sister species, the green iguana (Iguana iguana). Successful captive breeding of this species has been limited to only two instances, as most captive-laid eggs tend to be infertile.
Other common names for it are Lesser Antillean green iguana or West Indian iguana.

小安德烈斯岛鬣蜥（学名Iguana delicatissima）是小安的列斯群岛特有的一种大型蜥蜴。由于栖息地的破坏、野生掠食者、捕猎及混种都令它们的数量急速衰落。人工繁殖也只有两个成功个案。
其种加词“delicatissima”意为“小安德烈斯岛的”。
