What is the green iguana?
Green iguana, also called ordinary iguana, is a lizard found in the rainforests of Central and South America. Green Iguan is one of the largest lizards in America. Its average length is more than 6 feet (2 meters), including the tail, which is about half its length. They are green, hence the name, but they can be a number of shades from very bright green to gray green, depending on their age and sex.
Like other reptiles, green iguanas are cold -blooded animals. They are herbivores who spend most of their lives living under the canopy. Green iguans eat leaves, fruits and flowers. The average life of green iguanas living in the wild is 20 years.
green iguanas have long claws for climbing trees where they live. Their long, hard tails can be used as defense mechanisms against predators and help them to cope with climbing. Like many other lizards, green iguanas can drop off the tail to escape if they are caught. Grabbed OCAs often abandon, but not always. After about 90 days the eggs hatch. 1 feet (0.30 meters) are alone when they are born and are very vulnerable to predators.
In Central and South America, the meat of green iguany is popular among some people. In areas where they are consumed, green iguanas are sometimes referred to as "tree chickens" or "bamboo chickens". They are hunted in the wild, and although they are not considered an endangered species, hunting in some countries has caused the population concerns. They are also captured for food.
green iguanas are popular in some countries as pets. You can find them for sale in PET stores. Green iguanas are increasingly bred for pets with pets, but their removal from the wilderness for business is still worrying.
other types of iguanas include Fiji, steep iguana, Marine Iguana Galapagos Islands and Desert Legoan. AssumptionIt is that it has evolved from Fiji from the green iguana found by Iguan on Fiji found only on Fiji. Marine Iguana Galapagos Islands, which are only on these islands, can swim and live in the sea. Desert iguanas, which grow to a length of approximately 16 inches (41 cm), are found in the United States and Mexico.
