Field Notes

Description:

Iguanas are lizards identified by their stocky stature, the saggy skin on their throats and the spins that poke from their heads, necks, backs, and tails. This particular iguana has a very large tail for its size and very short and stocky legs.

Habitat:

Iguanas live in dry and warm environments, sometimes tropical lush forest. But usually you would find them in rocky areas or desert plains.
