Lizards or snakes? The stark game of survival playing out in Ibiza.
The growing trend for imported olive trees has brought hoards of invasive snakes to the Spanish island, threatening the future of its wall lizard.
Horseshoe whipsnakes in Ibiza are threatening to wipe out the island’s native wall lizard population.
After 6m years of isolated evolution, the Ibiza wall lizard, whose scaly finery runs from cobalt blue to acid green, is facing an existential threat summed up in the Catalan phrase sargantanes o serps: lizards or snakes. Over the past two decades, the wall lizards have completely disappeared from some areas of Ibiza and the neighbouring island of Formentera thanks to the rapid proliferation of invasive, non-venomous horseshoe whipsnakes and ladder snakes.

Should lizards ever be faced with a ' parking ' problem as serious as the one facing most present-day motorists, the solution may lie in the nature of their build: they sit comfortably one on top of the other. demonstrating the technique is this trio of stump back lizards, photographed in the keepers hands in the reptile house of the London zoo, after their arrival by air from Australia.
