#Feeding by tourists compromises health of already-endangered iguanas, study findsfeeding wildlife is an increasingly common tourist activity
as a result of being fed by tourists. Charles Knapp Phd of the John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and colleagues compared the differences in physiological values
and endoparasitic infection rates between northern Bahamian rock iguanas inhabiting tourist-visited islands and those living on non-tourist-visited islands.
They took blood and faecal samples from both male and female iguanas over two research trips in 2010 and 2012.
The Bahamian rock iguana is among the world's most endangered lizards due to habitat loss introduced mammals illegal hunting threats related to increased tourism and smuggling for the illicit pet trade.
Both male and female iguanas from the islands frequently visited by tourists showed notably different levels of glucose potassium and uric acid.
Male iguanas from the tourist areas differed in levels of calcium cholesterol cobalt copper magnesium packed cell volume selenium and triglycide concentrations.
Meanwhile female iguanas from tourist areas differed significantly in ionized calcium. Among both males and females from tourist areas there was a 100%endoparasitic infection rate.
Tourist-fed iguanas also displayed atypical loose faeces. Dr Knapp says Both sexes on visited islands consume food distributed by tourists
although male iguanas are more aggressive when feeding and eat more provisioned food. Consequently they may be impacted more by provisioning with unnatural foods
which could explain the greater suite of significant physiological differences in males between populations. Iguanas on visited islands predominantly eat grapes that are provided by tour operators on a daily basis. The higher concentrations of glucose found in tourist-fed iguanas may be a result of being fed too many sugary fruits such as grapes.
An overabundance of grapes in those iguanas'diets could also explain the excessive diarrhea observed during the study.
Both male and female iguanas from the tourist areas showed notably lower levels of potassium than the non-visited iguanas.
The male tourist-fed iguanas have raised cholesterol concentrations which may indicate the introduction of meat to their diet.
Similarly the higher uric acid levels in male and female iguanas could be the result of animal protein such as ground beef being fed to iguanas by tourists.
Furthermore food provisioning by tourists on beaches has encouraged the iguanas to spend disproportionate amounts of time foraging in the area rather than further in the island resulting in higher levels of marine life being ingested.
as a result of tourist-feeding can be endangered beneficial for species they warn that unnaturally high densities and excessive reliance on tourists for food may prove problematic
if food supplementation is discontinued for any reason. Further plant community dynamics can be disrupted by changed feeding patterns in the iguanas.
Dr Knapp says The complete restriction of feeding by tourists may not be a realistic option.
