	Iguana Specialist Group (formerly the West Indian Iguana Specialist Group)
		The Acklins iguana can be distinguished from the San Salvador and White Cay iguanas by a combination of several scale features, including four rows of scales between prefrontals and frontals, three rows of loreals, and eight supercilliaries (Schwartz and Carey 1977).
		As in San Salvador iguanas, the caudal verticils in Acklins iguanas are not as enlarged as in White Cay iguanas and the enlarged postsacral scales form a shorter row.
		They visited the Acklins Bight in 1996, as well as the introduced population, in order to obtain blood samples and measurements from the iguanas and to evaluate their status.
