What The Heck Was That Guy's Name?

Q:


ROT 13 is a simple code where a letter is moved 13 places forward in the alphabet.  For example, A goes to N, B goes to O, etc.  For letters in the second half of the alphabet, move the letters 13 places earlier.  T goes to G, etc.  This should help:

A        B       C      D       E       F      G      H       I        J       K      L      M

N       O       P       Q       R      S      T       U      V      W      X      Y      Z

   

Think of a large island whose last letter is a ROT 13 of its first letter.  Remove the first and last letters and the result when ROT 13ed will name the general category of an endangered species there.
