Female Spiny tailed iguana, Monterey del Mar, Costa Rica These lizards are native to Mexico and Central America. They are among the fastest of all lizard species. They use their speed to escape from predators but when cornered, they will lash out with their spiny tails and bite. ODT: Humor AIMG_0411

Male Green Iguanas, the largest lizards in Costa Rica, are normally green but they turn orange in breeding season to impress the ladies. They prefer to perch on trees above water. If danger approaches they make their escape by diving into the water below. They normally are arboreal with the female climbing to the ground only to lay eggs. AxMG_1929

Green Iguanas, the largest lizards in Costa Rica, are normally green but males can turn orange in breeding season to impress the ladies. They prefer to perch on trees above water. If danger approaches they make their escape by diving into the water below. They normally are arboreal with the female climbing to the ground only to lay eggs. They certainly are a lot easier to photograph than are birds. Although they are found near the top of a tree, they like to be exposed to the sun so visibility is generally better. In addition, they like to remain very still and in one place. AxMG_1949
