鬣蜥那鲜艳的颜色和长长的尾巴让人印象深刻。属于食草动物，以树叶、花朵和水果为食。擅长凭借强健的四肢与尖锐的爪子，攀爬树枝和岩石，而且还能敏锐地感知到远处的动静。受到捕食者的威胁时，会断尾逃生，断掉的尾巴不久之后便能重新长出。
Iguanas are known for their long tails and vivid colors. Primarily herbivorous, they eat leaves, flowers, and fruits. Excellent climbers, iguanas use strong limbs and sharp claws to navigate trees and rocks. Their tails can detach and regrow if lost to predators and can detect movement and predators from afar.
