Wikipedia Abstract

Brachylophus bulabula is a species of iguanid lizard endemic to some of the larger central and northwestern islands of Fiji (Ovalau, Gau, Kadavu and Viti Levu), where it occurs in Fijian wet forest. It was discovered by a team led by a scientist from the Australian National University in 2008. It is one of the few species of iguana found outside of the New World and one of the most geographically isolated members of the family Iguanidae.
