A male green iguana suns himself on a roof. 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. AxMG_1951

This fellow must have jumped into the water beside the tree and now is faced with the daunting task of climing back up to his high perch. AxMG_1932
