Iguana
Photo of the Week - 02/26/2006
The green iguana is a lizard with short powerful limbs and sharp claws living in the tropical rain forests of Central America, through northern South America to Brazil. Endangered now in some countries due to depletion of the rain forests, the iguana has long been called the "chicken of the trees" and efforts are underway to grow the iguana on iguana farms.
