Cyclura is a genus of lizards in the family Iguanidae. Member species of this genus are commonly known as "cycluras" (or more commonly as rock iguanas) and only occur on islands in the West Indies.[1] Rock iguanas have a high degree of endemism, with (in most cases) a single species or subspecies originating on an individual island.[2][3]
