The Hispaniolan ground iguana, Ricord's ground iguana, Ricord's rock iguana, or Ricord's iguana (''Cyclura ricordi'') is a critically endangered species of rock iguana.〔 It is found on the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and is the only known species of rock iguana to coexist with the rhinoceros iguana (''Cyclura cornuta'').〔 Its natural habitat is dry savanna within three subpopulations in the southwestern Dominican Republic.〔〔 It is threatened by habitat loss due to agricultural encroachment.〔〔 ==Taxonomy== Its generic name (''Cyclura'') is derived from the Ancient Greek ''cyclos'' (κύκλος) meaning "circular" and ''ourá'' (οὐρά) meaning "tail", after the thick-ringed tail characteristic of all ''Cyclura'' iguanas. Its specific name is a Latinized form of French Biologist, Alexandre Ricord's last name; Ricord first wrote of the species in 1826. Morphological and genetic data indicate that the closest living relative of ''C ricordi'' is ''C. carinata'' of the Turks and Caicos Islands.〔 〕
