Bird and Pets

The common iguana is a reptile belonging to the order squamata, which brings together three suborders: Ophidian, Sauria and amphisbaenians. The Green Iguana is the type species of the family. The iguana has a solid body, with four well developed legs that end in a big five toes equipped with equipped with powerful claws. These nails serve to climb trees, move quickly on the ground and dig safely.

The back and belly are covered with small scales. Under the head has a double chin and under the eardrum, a series of large round and flat scales. Its color is bright green when young, and as it grows gray bands appear on the body and tail.

It has a long crest on the top of his back that gives this most majestic. The tail serves as a stabilizer in the trees. Call it a kind of counterweight. It also allows you to swim very quickly. As already mentioned, the iguana is a very good swimmer.

The crest of the green iguana extends from the top of the head to 3 / 4 of the tail. It is rather soft and will harden as it approaches towards the tail. The height of this peak is higher in males, can reach even 8 inches.

The Iguana is primarily arboreal. Rarely leaves the top of the trees. This animal always lives near a place with water, which plunges if it feels threatened. In addition, the iguana is a great swimmer.

Iguanas can reach a length of 1.50 m to 1.80 m, but in captivity, an iguana in good condition, does not usually exceed 1.20 m (unless the iguana has a large enough space so you can fully grown).
