Iguana iguana
36 to 48 inch long iguana species with one apparent male on the top of the female. Male has upright orange and black spiky spines on his head and dorsal/back area. Overall medium green color over the entire body with black patches and rings on tail in both sexes. Male exhibits red colored genitals in third photo.
Urban area with a canal nearby located directly near busy intersection and sidewalk where the iguanas "sun" themselves daily.
Happened upon these two "romantically inclined iguanas. While they were copulating I took a series of shots. They separated and I was able to get a good shot of the male's genital area after separation from the female.
