One of the numerous factors suggested for the decline of the giant lizard of El Hierro (Gallotia simonyi) is the competition with the smaller congener, G. caesaris, ubiquitous throughout El Hierro.
These observations are consistent with the mild temperament of Gallotia simonyi, which may be related to the prolongued captivity of the adults.

 GALLOTIA LIZARDS
The taxonomic status of the genus Gallotia has become somewhat confused of late, owing to the discovery of the giant lizards of Gomera and to the elevation by some authorities of subspecies to species level (eg Gallotia caesaris, which some claim is just a subspecies of Gallotia gallotia).
While Tenerife seems to have its Gallotia lizards in abundance, from the coastal areas to up the sides of Mt Teide by all accounts, the situation for the other Gallotia species on the rest of the islands is not so good, and some are endangered.
All Gallotia species are beautiful lizards but part of a delicate ecosystem: in the absence of any captive breeding programs set up by responsible local herpetologists, they should be photographed and left in the wild by visitors to the islands.
