"The shortage of rain, little food and the high number of land iguanas on the islet of Venice" forced park authorities to transfer the reptiles of the species Conolophus subcristatus "to ensure the survival of individuals," the park said in a statement.

The land iguanas, also known as yellow iguanas because of the color of their skin, originate from Dragon Hill.
