A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Ctenosaura similis
Excellent climbers, and prefer a rocky habitat with plenty of crevices to hide in, rocks to bask on, and nearby trees to climb. Native to Central America, has been introduced to South Florida and reproduces in the wild in several feral populations
There were very many of these of varying sized throughout the park. In the picture we see a large one on the sand feeding on a tangerine dropped by a beach goer.

“Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!”
Nice series.
