Roke kanae o te ngārara Lapitiguana impensa (2 o 3)

Roke kanae o te ngārara <em>Lapitiguana impensa </em>

Anei te papatoiake o te giant iguana kua mate ā-moa nei, i te taha o te papatoiake o te iguana e ora ana i ēnei rā. I kitea ngā roke kanae o te giant iguana i tētahi ahu otaota i te moutere o Viti Levu i Whītī. Haurua i te kotahi mita te roa o te ngārara nei. Ko te whakaaro i mate ā-moa te ngārara nei i muri tata o te taunga atu o te tangata ki reira e 3,000 tau ki mua.
