No iguana wants to be cooked alive on a hot rock and then served up as dinner for a Galapagos hawk.

Summary[edit] Description: Juvenile Black Spiny-tailed Iguana (Ctenosaura similis) Lepán, Yucatan, Mexico This juvenile Black Spiny-Tailed Iguana was blobbing its head and extending its dewlap. Seconds before this picture, it had jumped into another one of this which was on a stick above him, and threw him to the ground! I still regret not taking the picture when the two of them were in the air!. Date: 13 October 2009, 05:03. Source: Ctenosaura similis. Author: Maximilian Paradiz from Amsterdam, Netherlands.
