  2. Habitat: Iguanas are mainly found in Central America, South America and the Caribbean. They prefer tropical and subtropical forests, although some species have adapted to living in drier areas.
  3. Diet: Most iguanas are omnivorous, although the diet of a particular species may focus more on plants or animals. For example, the green iguana is primarily herbivorous.
  4. Reproduction: Iguanas lay eggs, which they bury in the ground. Depending on the species, a female can lay from several to dozens of eggs.
  5. Threats: Humans pose a major threat to iguanas, mainly due to the destruction of their habitat and the hunting of them. Some iguana species are already threatened with extinction.
  6. Application: In some countries, iguanas are considered a delicacy and are caught for their meat. They are also popular as pets, although keeping them requires specialized knowledge and proper conditions.

Trivia

  1. Green iguana as herbivore:

    • Unlike many other lizards, the green iguana is mainly herbivorous. It prefers leaves, flowers and fruits, which is quite unusual in the reptile world.
  2. Regrowing tail:

    • Iguanas have the ability to regrow their tail after losing it. This is a defense mechanism that allows them to escape from predators.
  3. Third eye:

    • Iguanas have something called a "parietal eye" or "third eye." It is a small, transparent scale on top of their head that reacts to changes in light. This helps them detect predators from the air, such as birds.
  4. Life expectancy:

    • Under the right conditions, iguanas can live quite long. Green iguanas, when properly cared for in captivity, can live up to 20 years.
  5. Powerful swimmers:

    • Iguanas are excellent swimmers. They use their strong tails like paddles, which allows them to move quickly through the water.
  6. High falls:

    • When they feel threatened in the trees, iguanas can jump from great heights and land on the ground without injury.
  7. Communications:

    • Iguanas use various forms of communication. They can wag their tails, hiss or move their heads to express their emotions or intentions.
  8. Indoor heating:

    • Iguanas, like other reptiles, are cold-blooded, meaning that they must regulate their body temperature with their environment, such as sunbathing.
  9. Iguanas in the wild vs. in captivity:

    • Although green iguanas are popular as pets, their natural behavior can vary depending on whether they are kept in captivity or in the wild. In captivity, they can become more tame and less active.
  10. Threat to iguanas:
  • Iguanas are often seen as a threat to local ecosystems, especially in places where they have been introduced as alien species. In Florida, for example, the green iguana is considered an invasive species that negatively affects local flora and fauna.
