Iguana

An iguana is a large, herbivorous lizard native to Central and South America. It has a robust body, long tail, and distinctive spines running along its back and tail. Iguanas primarily feed on leaves, flowers, and fruit, using their strong claws to climb trees. They are social, often found basking in the sun to regulate their body temperature. Known for their calm demeanor, iguanas can grow quite large—up to six feet long—requiring ample space in captivity. They play a vital role in their ecosystems by aiding in seed dispersal and maintaining plant health.
