Short Story:

Iguanas

by Erin Ryan

Iguanas are large lizards found in several southern states, Central and South America, theCaribbeanIslands and Africa. Some types of iguanas live in tropical rain forests, others live in deserts,and there are some that live on rocks along the ocean. One special adaptation they have is that theycan be different colors from bright green, to dark brown to help them hide in grass, trees, in water, andalong rocks.

Iguanas lay up to fifty eggs at a time, and baby iguanas are usually bright green. Iguanas cangrow to be up to seven feet long if you measure them from their nose all the way to the end of theirlong tail. They can live for up to twenty years. They are cold-blooded reptiles, so they have to soak upthe sun’s rays during the day to stay warm when the sun sets. Iguanas are omnivores. They like to eatleaves and fruits best, but they also eat insects and sometimes they even eat small animals. Iguanascan run very fast, climb trees easily with their long claws and they’re great swimmers. If a big animalcatches an iguana, its tail can break off and it will grow back. (Smaller lizards, like anoles andsalamanders, can do this too.)

There are forty different types of iguanas and twelve of them are endangered. Some reasonswhy they’re endangered are because their eggs are eaten by animals, their habitats are becomingsmaller because people moving into their territories, and in some countries, iguanas are hunted forfood.

Some people even keep iguanas for pets. Pet iguanas need large cages, because they can grow very long. Many people feed their iguana’s dark green leafy vegetables, and fruit salad, afavorite treat. Because they’re reptiles, they need special lights to keep their body temperature warmand to make sure they stay healthy.

If you ever visit places with tropical climates, be on the lookout for iguanas. They’re one of thelargest and most interesting lizards you’ll ever see.

Questions:

  1. How long do iguanas live?
