Green Iguana
Iguana Iguana
-2.20101, -79.8819
Field Notes
Description:
These prehistoric-looking animals, a different species from those found in the Galápagos, are a startling sight in one of Guayaquil's most famous plazas, Parque Bolívar which is also known as Parque Seminario.
Habitat:
A downtown park area with trees and large shrubs for the iguanas to bask on.
Notes:
I had a night layover in Guayaquil on mainland Ecuador before traveling to the Galapagos Islands. These iguanas were in a downtown park area near my hotel. I wasn't expecting to get a cool reptile spotting in the few hours I had in the morning before departing to the airport to catch my next flight, but it luckily happened!
