CollectA 88965 – Iguana

13,80 × 6,20 cm
Green iguanas live in the rainforests of northern Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and southern Brazil. Green iguanas have a long body covered with green leathery scales. They have sharp teeth and short legs. Each foot has five toes with sharp claws used for climbing. There is a row of spines extending from their head to their tail. Their long tails make up over half their body length and are sometimes used to drive away predators. Green iguanas usually live close to the water and are wonderful swimmers. Females lay their eggs in sandy nests and move from their home site to the nest site daily.
