Ctenosaura melanosterna, commonly known as the black-chested spiny-tailed iguana or Шаблон:Proper name, is a species of lizard in the family Iguanidae.
Geographic range
It is endemic to Honduras, in both the mainland and two of the Cayos Cochinos islands off its Caribbean coast.
Habitat
The black-chested spiny-tailed iguana lives in a terrestrial system.[1] The natural habitat of this iguana is a subtropical or tropical dry forest.
Conservation status
Ctenosaura melanosterna is mainly endangered by human activities, as humans poach these iguanas and their eggs for consumption (Montgomery et al. 2014).[2] The Green iguana is also much more numerous throughout Central America, making it a competitor for food and resources.
