Iguana

Iguanas are lizards found in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean, belonging to the family Iguanidae. They are typically large in size, featuring a crest of spines along their backs, a dewlap (throat pouch), and a robust tail. Most iguanas are herbivorous, feeding mainly on leaves, flowers, and fruits, though some juveniles may eat insects. They are often arboreal or live among rocks and are excellent swimmers. Iguanas are notable for their distinctive appearance, and some species are consumed by local populations.
