Eye-guana

This handsome specimen is a green iguana, which is likely an introduced species to the Caribbean island of Curacao, where I photographed it as it basked contently. Aside from the cool eye, you can easily make out the tympanum, which is the lizard's eardrum, just below and to the left of the eye. Below that is a large, white scale, known as the subtympanic shield, naturally.
