GREEN IGUANA - INVASIVE

Iguana iguana

The Green Iguanas are an herbivorous species invasive to Bimini, native to various countries throughout South & Central America. This species displays numerous green colorations, from dark to pale, along their face and body, often reaching lengths of over 200 cm (nearly 6.5 feet) from snout to tail. Their habitat is primarily within the trees, occasionally reaching the ground for mating and nesting opportunities. They’re a common species in their native regions, and are thus listed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
