The Montserrat galliwasp is a secretive animal which has only been sighted a handful of times over the last decade. It is believed to prefer moist woodland habi-tats. It was fi rst sighted in 1964 and then again in 1998 by forestry employees and a few other times after that. It may be one of the most endangered lizards in the world, particularly given the destruction of local habitat caused by the Soufrière Hills volcano.
