Four Jamaican Iguanas Hatch at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Four critically endangered Jamaican iguanas have hatched backstage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

The hatchlings contribute to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan for the Jamaican iguana, described as one of the world’s rarest iguanas.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to animal-care and conservation programs alongside its guest-facing wildlife experiences. The iguanas hatched in backstage care areas, rather than in a guest viewing habitat.
