Most of the time, it’s rare for iguanas to co-mingle in the wild. Before the recent hybridization, there were really no records of any completely different iguanas mating. It may have happened, but we just have not seen the results of it. This is why it was so compelling to see the new Hybrid Iguana.
Scientists used iguanas from two different species lines, hoping the intergeneric breeding approach would result in a new hybrid. The two they used, the Marine & Galapagos Land Iguanas, both came from South Plaza Land in the Galapagos Islands. They felt lucky, with that feeling realized when an offspring came to be.
