Field Notes

Description:

Large green iguana - I presume male and female. The larger of the two was at least 1 m from nose to tail tip and likely a bit longer.

Habitat:

These two photos were taken in the town of La Crucecita. There are designated areas left with natural habitat throughout the town. I spotted this pair in one of those areas which was adjacent to several small hotels. They were about 4 meters up in a tree.

Notes:

Photo was shot early morning and the pair were basking in the first sun light to hit the trees.
