chrys goote
An even closer encounter
Incredible as this may seem, I almost fell over this handsome hunk. It was a combination of looking upwards at a couple of screeching birds and the way this Iguana just lay there, not moving a muscle! Anyway, once my heart rate settled down, I was able to get a few hundred shots of this photogenic chap. He is a Green Iguana - yes honestly, he is. I believe the males change colour prior to breeding season. Scientific name: Iguana Iguana (That's right 'Iguana' times two.) Taken at Butterfly World, Stellenbosch, Western Cape.
