An iguana is a large lizard found mostly in the warmer parts of
Central and South America. Many iguanas have a ridge of spines
down the middle of the back. Unlike other lizards, iguanas eat
only plants. The marine iguana is unique to the Galápagos Island, and is the only lizard to be a marine reptile. Some kinds of iguanas are endangered.
