You are a big and huge reptile.
You can be up to five or six feet long.
You are a very rare animal,
that can be found only in a few places in the world.
You look frightening and ominous,
but you are actually a harmless herbivore.
Some people keep you as a pet.
Oh my huge one, indeed you have charming ways.
You come in two varieties.
The green coloured iguana and the antilean iguana.
The antilean ones among you,
are in severe danger of extinction.
The green coloured ones among you,
are the ones sought after as pets.
You are mostly found in Mexico and the Caribbean.
But also in some parts of Central America.
You have sharp vision and can see colours.
You can distinguish between shapes and sizes.
These qualities help you in crawling through forests,
in search of food to eat.
You communicate among yourselves,
through a marvellous mechanism of visual signals.
You give a true meaning to the adage,
of ‘speaking with the eyes’
We humans have so many things,
to learn from a marvel like you.
You are another product of the mechanism,
of millions of years of wonderful evolution.
Ominous looks and innocent nature make the iguana special indeed.
Yes, the mighty but gentle giant. Very harmless and kept as a pet by a lot of people.
Such a beautiful creature with enviable qualities. Thanks for all the information.

I learned a lot about Iguana with this post Jai. By the end of the challenge, we will learn amazing facts about “A to Z of the Animal Kingdom”
Thanks for sharing.

We could learn so much from animals, birds, and insects! By the end of the month, I’ll know a lot about animals, thanks to you. 🙂

The iguana, though not pleasing in appearance, is quite a fascinating creature! I never knew there were two different kinds of iguanas!
There are two different kinds and the antilean iguana is in danger of extinction. People try to cross breed it with the green iguana and this is slowly resulting in its extinction.
I didn’t know that iguanas were herbivores. I learned so much today. Thank you.
Thanks for visiting Madhu.

Nature has such interesting & incredible creatures!
Evolution and survival over centuries!
Very much so. The animal kingdom is indeed a marvel.
Interesting. Never thought something on iguana could be so poetic.
Well, an iguana is not an animal that looks pleasing to the eye but people keep it as a pet because of its endearing qualities.
Nice, short and sweet informative post. I don’t think I’ve ever come across an iguana. 😉
I have not seen an Iguana except on animal planet. They are found in central america and the Caribbean.
