Green iguana in Puerto Rico

On 12/06/2024 02:05 pm by Armando Caussade | Website | San Juan, Puerto Rico

I was driving my car at 2:05 pm last week as I went out to do some errands, and two blocks away from home I saw this green iguana crawling near the sidewalk. This specimen is similar to others I saw in previous occasions [see ECP #51154, #53976 and #64681]. This particular iguana, perhaps a juvenile, measured just short of a meter long and sported a uniform, bright green color. Green iguanas (scientific name: Iguana iguana) are seasoned tree climbers, and a couple of seconds after I took this photograph the animal ran away and quickly jumped into a nearby tree.
