Iguana is a cold-blooded large lizard living in tropical forests. Iguanas live mainly in the crowns of trees, eat plant food, have good plasticity and coordination. Along the spine of the iguanas there is a high crest, and under the lower jaw there is a hanging throat bag. In general, the body of the iguana is characterized by an abundance of horny growths of various shapes, which together with colored scales make them look like small dragons. They live in Central and South America. The original natural range covers a large area from Mexico to the South to the Southern Brazil and Paraguay as well as the Caribbean Islands. In addition, several populations, whose ancestors were pets, formed in some areas of the United States, for example, in Southern Florida, including the Islands of the Florida Keyes, in Hawaii and in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.
