Brachylophus fasciatus is an arboreal iguana commonly known as the Fiji Banded Iguana. It is found in Fiji, Tonga, and on other pacific islands. Like the related Fiji Crested Iguana, it is believed to have evolved from the Green Iguana of South and Central America. Males of the species are emerald green with lighter bluish bands. Females are solid green with occasional spots. Both have red-orange eyes and yellow nostrils. It is endangered due to habitat loss and the introduction of predators.
