Iguana iguana
These iguanas always remind me of dinousaurs. Even this Iguana is above 2 m long they are harmless and they are hervivorous. Also they are very good swimmers. They are being threathened by iligal trade. It is always a treat to see them in the wild. This is an adult, juveniles are all green color.

Thank you Jill Black. Iguanas are common in tropical Mexico.
Great photos of male green iguana I have only ever seen one in the Santiago Zoo Chile would love to see one in the the wild
Thank you Karen. I didn't know how the Dew lap was called. And yes, it was the biggest iguana of the group, maybe the dominant male?
I have never seen one with such an extensive Dew lap.
Now the complete series is uploaded.
