: : "Wild Igs" is good enough I think, I don't know the proper name either. They are all over the countryside near Cancun, or at least they were before the last hurricanes. Some of them are orange and brown others are purple to black with and orange tinge. Not to many green ones. Lots of them were 3 - 4 feet, but none larger. That's probably the best photo he could get, I couldn't ever get one. They sit on the rocks by the side of the roads and turn their heads to watch the cars go by but if you even take a step towards them, they're gone! They all have that mean pissed off look on their faces and they look a lot like the marine iguanas in the Galopagoes but the ones I saw in Mexico lived inland.

: : : : Wild Iguanas?? (not sure proper name) from Mexico
: : : : My friend gave me these shots he took while on vacation-- I wonder why he thought of me??? ;-)
: : : : Since these Mayan ruins are off limits to humans, the lizards have overtaken the temples for their own!
