Taiwan's Iguana Problem

Taiwan is facing a growing problem with iguanas, large lizards that were introduced as exotic pets over 20 years ago. Many of these iguanas escaped or were released, and they have been breeding quickly in the warm climate of southern Taiwan.

The iguana population has grown so much that they are now invading neighborhoods and damaging farmers' crops. To address this issue, the government is paying bounty hunters to catch the iguanas. These hunters use special tools like slingshots to capture the iguanas, which often hide high up in trees.

While the hunters are working hard to reduce the iguana population, experts say it will be difficult to completely eliminate them. The government and local farmers are trying different methods to protect crops and control the number of iguanas.
