Animals called omnipotent, eat a wide range of foods, including small mammals, vegetation, birds and invertebrates. Iguans of rhinos can live up to 20 years and achieve sexual graduation during the first three years of life. The Iguan RhinoS, which hatches after 75 to 100 days, usually provides 15 to 20 eggs.
neverthelessThat they mainly occur on Hispanioli, rhinos Iguans can be found on its neighboring islands. The reptile prefers rocky, dry land and savannas. Animals are more territorial than their relatives of green iguans and rarely inhabit trees or forests.
