Green Iguana Iguana iguana Named for the bright green color as a young (juvenile) animal, these lizards
live in the canopy layer of tropical rainforests in Central and South America
and are camouflaged to hide in the leaves of the trees. They are a much lighter green to grayish in color as they get older
as they tend to spend more time on tree branches rather than within the leaves. Males,
like the one pictured here, can grow to six feet in length and are able to
change color to orange when they are feeling threatened or challenging another
male. They also drop a flap of skin from their chin called a dewlap that
can also flash orange. |
