Jamaican iguana making a comeback

(CNN) -- Biologists at Jamaica's Hope Zoo are working to bring the nation's largest native land animal, the Jamaican iguana, back from the brink of extinction. Until a hunter's dog cornered one of the iguanas in 1990, the rare reptile hadn't been seen in about 50 years.

The zoo biologists are now raising the lizards and preparing them for reentry into the wild.

CNN's Natalie Pawelski looks at the iguanas fight for life.
