From Wikipedia
"The green iguana (Iguana iguana), also known as the American iguana or the common green iguana, is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area; it is native from southern Brazil and Paraguay as far north as Mexico.
A herbivore, it has adapted significantly with regard to locomotion and osmoregulation as a result of its diet. It grows to 1.7 m (5.6 ft) in length from head to tail, although a few specimens have grown more than 2 m (6.6 ft) with bodyweights upward of 20 lb (9.1 kg)."

Three superb photos, Kevin.
Thanks for looking and commenting Eric, it's really appreciated

Excellent portraits of these guys. A distinctly large lizard.
Thanks Alan, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't get the whole Iguana in the frame, but that's the price you have to pay sometimes when only carrying a 500mm lense and 1.4 extender
These are awesome Kevin! Such great poses you captured.
Thank you Jim
