Green Iguana - 'Bamboo Chicken'
Green, or common, iguanas are among the largest lizards in the Americas, averaging around 6.5 feet (2 meters) long and weighing about 11 pounds (5 kilograms).
Whilst on a recent holiday in the Caribbean I came across this beautifully coloured iguana on Grand Cayman and in Honduras and Belize. The locals referred to it as 'Bamboo Chicken' as they regarded it as a delicacy. The black iguanas were surprisingly less common and rarely eaten.
The green iguana’s extensive range comprises the rain forests of northern Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and southern Brazil. They spend most of their lives in the canopy, descending only infrequently to mate, lay eggs, or change trees.
