Gallotia bravoana
Gallotia bravoana is a large lizard that lives only on the island of Gomera in the Canary Islands. This is a rare species that mainly feeds on plants and hides among rocks.
Gallotia bravoana differs from other Canary lizards by its larger size and strong preference for plant food. It is important for nature because it disperses plant seeds and serves as food for local predatory birds.
