Michael Ronquillo Season 1 Episode 3
Welcome back to the Iguana Chronicles, your go-to podcast for everything about South Florida's invasive iguana population. I'm your host, Michael Ronquillo, and today’s episode is all about the significant impact these scaly invaders have on our local ecosystem and native species. 

We'll explore how green iguanas, originally brought from Central and South America through the pet trade, have outcompeted local wildlife for food, invaded burrows of endangered species, and even spread non-native plants. Join us as we dive into the crucial role our iguana removal efforts play in preserving South Florida's natural habitats. Stay tuned for a deep dive into the challenges and solutions in managing these resilient reptiles.
