“Iguana ask you a question…. Werewolf I be without my Flickr friends?” ~

To all of my Flickr friends who are unique just like this Blue Iguana found only in the Grand Caymans….. THANK YOU!
Seen in the Woodland Trails at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park ~
The Blue Iguana is found only on the island of Grand Cayman. Comparison with other Cyclura species in the region strongly suggests that there was once a coastal population of Blue Iguanas which was gradually displaced or extirpated by human settlements and the construction of roads. The Blue Iguana now only occurs inland in natural xerophytic shrubland and along the interfaces between farm clearings, roads, and gardens and closed-canopy dry forest or shrubland. The interior population is believed to have been attracted to agricultural clearings and fruit farms which provide thermoregulatory opportunities, herbaceous browse, fallen fruit, and nesting soil, but this also brought the Blue Iguana into contact with humans and feral animals. Females often migrate to coastal areas to nest.
Blue Iguanas released into the Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park on Grand Cayman were radiotracked in 2004 to determine ranges for each animal. Females were found to occupy territories of 0.6 acres (2,400 m2) and males an average of 1.4 acres (5,700 m2) with overlap in common territories, indicating that they choose to maintain a population density of four to five animals per hectare.
The Blue Iguanas occupy rock holes and tree cavities, and as adults are primarily terrestrial. Younger individuals tend to be more arboreal. Hatchlings are preyed upon by the native snake Alsophis cantherigerus. The adults have no natural predators but can fall victim to feral dogs. They typically reach sexual maturity at three to four years of age.

My partner got a shot of this iguana slowly but deftly maneuvering among the branches over the river bank near our table at the River Cafe in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

1. Piensa un numero del 1 al 9.
2. Súmale 1.
3. Multiplícalo por 9.
4. Ahora quiero que sumes los dos dígitos. Te lo explico: Si te ha dado 63 suma 6 + 3, que son 9
5. A ese numero restale 5, ¿ok?
6. Ahora quiero que asocies ese número a una letra, es decir: la A es 1, la B es 2…. y así sucesivamente… ¿La tienes?
7. Piensa en un país que empiece con esa letra…
8. Ok, ahora quiero que la letra que tenías pase a la siguiente. O sea, si era la A pasa a la B… y así sucesivamente… Y con esa letra piensa en un animal… ¿ok?
9. Sólo voy a decirte una cosa…
NO HAY IGUANAS EN DINAMARCAAAAA!

Iguana lounging in Florida. I’m sure there’s a more descriptive name for him, so if anyone knows, let me know.

I didn’t expect to see wild Iguanas. I assume they were wild.
