On the island of Isabela in the Galapagos archipelago, scientists for the first time discovered nesting sites for pink conolophos, rare iguanas officially discovered only in 2009. In the same area, zoologists first met the cubs of these reptiles. It turned out that their coloring is different from adults. Baby pink conolophos are yellow or lime with black spots and stripes. This camouflage makes them invisible among plants. But despite this, iguanas rarely survive to sexual maturity due to feral cats and invasive rats.
