Located in the foothills of Shoushan in Kaohsiung, National Sun Yat-sen University often has to deal with monkey business on campus. Macaques try to steal students’ food, and security guards have taken to using air guns to fend them off. But recently, their troubles have doubled due to an influx of green iguanas, turning campus security guards into part-time animal control personnel.

A campus security guard tries to catch a meter-long green iguana that has invaded these courts, inching closer with his air rifle.

He managed to catch it and put it in a bag. The iguana was making itself comfortable at National Sun Yat-sen University in Kaohsiung. Since it’s right next to Shoushan, students often deal with monkeys on campus, but now iguanas are making trouble too.

It could be dangerous to have green iguanas wandering around campus, so security guards have stepped in as animal control—a role they are all too familiar with.
A dorm security guard uses an air rifle to scare away monkeys, earning students’ praise. Now with green iguanas appearing as well, the security guards are going to be very busy.

Security guards also have to deal with vehicles. If one of our vehicles gets towed, they have to handle that, so I think it indirectly adds to their workload.

It’s not surprising to see animals on Sun Yat-sen University’s campus, but as monkeys and iguanas invade student spaces, security guards have to work even harder to protect the community.
