iguana

This green iguana, in its orange mating coloration, was climbing a tree as I was passing by, and it paused as it was about to lift itself up to the next branch to watch me. I loved the pose as it looked like he was sitting upright at a table waiting to be served a beer.

At Freedom Park they have these platforms that go out into the ponds. Why this Iguana ventured out there I have no idea, but we were both a little shocked. My 400mm lens was to much for these close quarters.

hundreds of iguanas on site this one came and lay with me everyday

Growing up to 36", these Baja iguanas tend to take over a woodpecker nest site, usually in a Cardon Cactus. This pair had their location high above the arroyo I was camped in. Not being early risers, every morning about 9AM they would poke their heads out, climb up on the top of the cactus...

2 iguanas were basking on the hot stones in the ruins at Uxmal, Mexico

Iguana seen in Costa Rica. I won a competition with this one.

This one was taken from bus window on a tour of city and jungle, it was on the city part of the tour.

Desert Iguana

At Rancho Primavera we have lots of black iguana. In the fall some of the young take shelter on our porch as this guy is doing.

A reasonably common creature a few places, hunted to very low numbers in the rest; the local population like the taste

There are living many birds and especially reptiles around Ranger Station near the Palo Verde Lagoon, Costa Rica
