The Gau iguana (Brachylophus gau) is a species of iguana endemic to Gau Island in the Fijian archipelago. It mostly lives in the well-preserved upland forests of the island, with smaller populations in the degraded coastal forests. It can be distinguished from other South Pacific iguanas by the male's distinctive color pattern and solid green throat. It is also the smallest of all South Pacific iguanas, being about 13% smaller than the third smallest species and 40% smaller than the largest extant species.

- Brachylophus gau — один из 4-х видов игуан, обитающих на Фиджи. Эндемик острова Нгау в фиджийском архипелаге. В основном он обитает в первичных высокогорных лесах острова, некоторые встречаются в деградированных прибрежных лесах. Brachylophus gau отличаются от других брахилофусов по характерной окраске самца и сплошному зеленому горлу. Это также самая маленькая из всех брахилофусов, примерно на 13 % меньше, чем третий самый маленький вид, и на 40 % меньше, чем самый крупный из известных видов. (ru)

- The Gau iguana (Brachylophus gau) is a species of iguana endemic to Gau Island in the Fijian archipelago. It mostly lives in the well-preserved upland forests of the island, with smaller populations in the degraded coastal forests. It can be distinguished from other South Pacific iguanas by the male's distinctive color pattern and solid green throat. It is also the smallest of all South Pacific iguanas, being about 13% smaller than the third smallest species and 40% smaller than the largest extant species. The species was first recorded on Gau Island by the Scottish naturalist in 1854, during his travels on HMS Herald. However, it did not receive a proper species description until 2017. It is considered endangered on the IUCN Red List due to the presence of invasive mammalian predators on its island, such as black rats (Rattus rattus), Polynesian rats (Rattus exulans), feral cats (Felis catus), and free-ranging goats (Capra hircus). Forests are frequently burned for agriculture and eventually turn into grassland, accelerating habitat loss. Climate change may also play a threat by increasing cyclone intensity; while most native wildlife in Fiji is adapted to cyclones, they can create temporary gaps in the forests that can be taken over by invasive plant and insect species such as Mikania micrantha and yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes), from which they can expand their range.

Впервые этот вид был зарегистрирован на острове Гау шотландским натуралистом Джоном Мак Гиллавреем в 1854 году во время его путешествия на HMS Herald. Тем не менее, вид не получил надлежащего описания до 2017 года. (ru)
