Invasive green iguanas continue to be a problem Taiwan, with more than 200,000 of them removed as of the end of October. While most have been spotted in the south of the country, sightings are becoming increasingly common in the southeastern county of Taitung. Authorities are working with professional removal teams and trained members of the public to capture the reptiles and bring their population under control.
