The rhinoceros iguana is a large, heavy-bodied lizard native to the rocky, arid regions of Hispaniola, in the Caribbean. It gets its name from the bony, horn-like protrusions on its snout, resembling a rhinoceros. These herbivorous reptiles feed primarily on fruits, leaves, and flowers, playing a vital role in seed dispersal in their habitat. Known for their longevity and calm demeanor, rhinoceros iguanas are a fascinating species that highlight the unique biodiversity of their island home.
