This green iguana lives at the Castillo de San Cristobal in San Juan, Puerto Rico..

Green iguanas are native to some Caribbean islands, Mexico, Central America and South America, and some Polynesian islands, and were introduced to several other locals including Puerto Rico. Despite their name, Green Iguanas come in a variety of colors ranging from green to black, lavender, red, orange, and even pink. They have excellent vision and can see shapes, shadows, colors, and movement at long distances. They also have a photosensory organ on the top of their heads called a parietal eye which is sensitive to changes in light and dark and can detect movement. Iguanas are primarily herbivores, feeding on plants, flowers, and fruit. and can to around five or six feet long, including the tail.

In 2012, the government of Puerto Rico proposed that the island's iguanas, considered a non-native nuisance, be eradicated and sold for meat.

I have been photographing the things I see for over thirty years. A resident of San Luis Obispo County, I'm lucky to have many excellent photo destinations within a few minutes' or hours' drive. Beyond the local area, I have traveled throughout California and the western United States, visited far away American destinations such as Chicago, New York, Florida, and Alaska, and international destinations in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. My photography varies from Architecture to Industrial Art to Nature to Wildlife and I'm sure you'll find something suitable for your home or office. Visit my blog
