The animal on the cover of PHP Cookbook, Second Edition, is a Galapagos land iguana (Conolophus subcristatus). Once abundant in the Galapagos Islands, this iguana proved tasty to the settlers of the early 1800s, and domestic animals later introduced on the islands played further havoc with the reptile’s home and food supply. Today there are no iguanas left on Santiago Island and very few left on the other islands.
