New species edit
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/707860/pink-iguanas-found-on-galapagos-islands, this seems to be confirmed as a new species. Will try and do more in the coming days. So please dont delete the talk page for at least a week untill the article is done. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 07:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Contradiction? edit
Is it "vulnerable" or "critically endangered"? The infobox and text say different. Punkmorten (talk) 13:01, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Due to its low number, after an IUCN audit it will be considered critically endangered if it is ruled as a new species and not a subsecies or variant.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 20:22, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
No Scientific Name Yet edit
The name of this article is misleading. Pink iguanas have not been formerly named, and when they are, they almost certainly won't be Conolophus rosada because combining a feminine species name with a masculine genus name violates the nomenclature rules. Nobody knows yet what it will be named. - 209.162.56.50 (talk) 17:27, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- The Scientific name is Conolophus marthae and the common name Galápagos pink land iguana http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2009/f/zt02201p010.pdf --Melly42 (talk) 22:02, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
