Queen Victoria Birding: Green Iguanas in Aruba

 As the title of this entry suggests, it wasn't just birds we saw on the island of Aruba. When walking back to the ship via the coastal trail we saw a good numbers of the native Green Iguanas on the local golf course and in some of the small coastal parks. Green Iguanas are native to large parts of South America, Central America and a number of islands in the Caribbean. It is a large lizard, with adults reaching between 1.2 and 1.7 metres. Although they are called Green Iguanas, the colours vary across their range, from green to grey to black to a reddish brown. All images are Green Iguanas taken in Aruba on the 25th January 2024.
