Green Iguanas Behaviors

Greening runners are native to Mexico and South America but they're kept as pets throughout the world. Green iguanas also called common iguanas. The green iguana can grow up to 6 feet in length. Unlike other lizards that have difficulty digesting plants, the iguana feeds on flowers, fruits, and leaves. Since iguanas are accustomed to higher temperatures, iguanas must be provided with a heating lamp will rock at all times. Many people have enjoyed these unusual pets; however, as a result of their capture for the pet trade, iguanas are in danger of extinction in many places.

The snake is one animal that uses the Saguaro Cactus for shelter while the scorpion takes advantage of its height and the shadow it casts, taking shelter from the sun. Additionally, many birds can be seen perched on the big cactus. Woodpeckers even carve out holes that they use for nests. In addition, the flowers the cactus produces provide nectar for birds. The cactus even bears fruit, which splits in half after prolonged exposure to the sun. Consequently, birds and insects are able to feast on the sweet, oozing insides of the fruit, including the seeds. Even the fruit that simply falls to the ground from the cactus provides nourishment to animals passing by. All of these features make the Saguaro Cactus vital to animals’ survival in the desert.

The Texas horned lizard, Phrynosoma cornutum, is a species in the lizard family, Phrynosomatidae, which has ten genera and a diverse group of over 125 different species (Hammerson 2007; Cossel Jr. 1997). Lizards in this family can be found in Mexico, Panama, most areas of the United States and parts of Canada (Heying 2003). Phrynosomatids range in a variety of forms, but are most commonly distinguished by their small size (less than 10 cm long), rough and keeled scales, spikes on their bodies, and the fusion of the sides of their teeth to the sides of their inner jawbones, known as pleurodont teeth (Heying 2003). The thirteen species in the horned lizard genus, Phrynosoma, can be identified more specifically by their flattened bodies

Thus, their diet consist of meat, such as fish, turtles, snakes, small mammals, and at rare instances, humans. Their small teeth serve as an advantage for them to easily capture prey and their strong jaws are powerful enough to crush the shell of a turtle. In addition, American alligators have an adaption in their throat called a glottis. Their glottis helps them capture prey completed submerged in water. They are hunters active predominantly at night, specifically in the water. They shallow small prey whole. They will drag a larger prey underwater and drown it if it needs

Geckos are a diverse and plentiful species of lizard that can range from no bigger than your thumb nail, to longer than a foot long. They are world wide natives, with species being found as far apart as Africa and South America and some even in Southern China and other Eastern Asian countries. The best part about geckos however, is that they are model reptiles and pets, as demonstrated by their ability to call and understand other geckos, amongst other things.

Varanus Indicus or commonly known as monitor lizard are mainly found in riverbanks and coastal forrest in Africa and all across Asia. Monitor lizards are tan, brown, grey or green in color. They are reptiles of 4.7 to 122 inches in size. Monitor lizards have long necks, powerful tails and claws, and well-developed limbs.They have a long, specialized tongue with a tip that is highly sensitive to smell and taste. The tongue is extended to pick up scent chemicals, and is then retracted into the mouth where the scents are analyzed using an organ on the roof of the mouth. Their powerful jaws allow them to swallow large prey. The head of monitors is tapered, and there are distinct ear holes. Monitor lizards are omnivorous depending on where they

toe pads and they don't have a tadpole stage. Like most frogs who have webbed feet these frogs have no webbing between the toes. The coqui male frog chirps up to 90 decibels roughly as loud as a lawn mower or garbage disposal. Once its born the coqui frog only has a minute tail when its born but this quickly disappears.

An investigation into whether a larger head and rear limb size in the Tenerife Lizard Gallotia galloti and whether this indicates anything about the mating behaviours for the species.

Some were bright yellows with oranges while others were dull dark brown or green colors. They were unusual, some having spiky heads or backs and long tails as they crawled on the ground with their arms and legs. These hideous creatures that I observed were iguanas. I was surprised, when I first saw them I was not amused nor did I want to be near them, but slowly I found them to be interesting. When I saw the land iguanas I was not surprised by their abilities, but as soon as I saw one jump into the water I was amazed, could this iguana swim? Was this a marine iguana? As I watched and watched, I learned that the land iguanas stayed on the land basking in the sun while sometimes going back into the shade to cool down because they’re cold-blooded. Their diet also consisted of at times, meat, but most of the time plants and the fruit of cactus trees. The interesting marine iguanas have blunt noses from eating seaweed and algae from the ocean’s rocks, as they also use their strong limbs and claws to cling on to. I have found that land iguanas lay around two to twenty eggs while marine iguanas lay between one and six eggs. This brings me to my third idea of natural selection; more offspring are produced than can survive, this is proven as the iguanas lay more eggs than they can actually obtain. Most of the iguanas that are hatched do not live as they are either too weak or are eaten by predators, so having more eggs is best as most of them do not make
