However, Fiji wildlife does have several unique animal species such as the banded iguana, which is indigenous to the island of Yaduataba. Banded iguanas change color to control its body heat and are close relatives of South American iguanas. There are also several tree frog species in certain rainforests in Fiji such as those in Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Fiji rainforests also offers rare sightings of boa snakes. Fishes, turtles and other marine life form another significant part of Fiji wildlife. Many beaches in Fiji are in fact nesting grounds of sea turtles. Some resorts have initiated conservation programs to protect and help increase Fiji's turtle population.

The tropical water of the South Pacific Ocean is home to diverse marine life including rays, dolphins and sharks.
