Galapagos land iguana
The Galapagos land iguana (''Conolophus subcristatus'') is a species of lizard in the family Iguanidae. It is one of three species of the genus ''Conolophus''. It is endemic to the Galápagos Islands, primarily the islands of Fernandina, Isabela, Santa Cruz, North Seymour, Baltra, and South Plaza.〔

==Taxonomy==
The Galapagos land iguana varies in morphology and coloration among different island populations.〔 There are two taxonomically distinct forms of ''Conolophus'' inhabiting the western part of the islands (''C. rosada'' and ''C. pallidus'') and one in the central part (''C. subcristatus'').〔 Its generic name, ''Conolophus'', is derived from two Greek words: ''conos'' (κώνος) meaning "spiny" and ''lophos'' (λοφος) meaning "crest" or "plume", denoting the spiny crests along their backs. Its specific name ''subcristatus'' is derived from the Latin words ''sub'' meaning "lesser" and ''cristatus'' meaning "crested," and refers to the low crest of spines along the animal's back which is not as tall as in most iguana's.
