Jamaica giant galliwasp


The Jamaica giant galliwasp is a species of lizard in the Anguidae.
It was endemic to Jamaica. It was last recorded in 1840 and is now possibly extinct, likely exterminated by introduced predators like mongooses. Recent surveys, while extensive, have not yet been exhaustive, given the difficulties of access into and around the Black River Morass, leaving room for some hope that the species may persist, albeit with a tiny population.
