The Jamaican Giant Galliwasp, a species now presumed extinct, is thought to have been collected in the 1850s and became part of the University of Glasgow collections in 1888.
The Jamaican Giant Galliwasp is thought to have been collected in the 1850s. Lizard is contained in a glass stoppered jar at the University of Glasgow A 170-year-old lizard specimen is to be sent to Jamaica in a jar from a Scottish university in order to 'rectify past injustices' after the species was wiped out by the sugar trade.
Their disappearance was due to the sugar cane plantation economy, which led to a loss of natural habitat and introduced predators such as rats to the island. Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, vice-chancellor of the UWI, said: 'The reparatory justice movement deals with various issues of different scales that must be addressed.
The lizard, a mature adult, is contained in a glass stoppered jar and stored in 70% ethanol and is said to be in good condition for a wet preserved specimen that is around 170 years old.
