Spotlight on: Green Iguana

Found native in the lush rainforests of South America, the green iguana can live up to 20 years in the wild.

Some interesting facts about iguanas:
- They can survive a 12-metre drop from a tree without getting injured.
- They often break their tail to escape after getting caught. The tail will grow back eventually.
- The mothers lay the eggs underground and depart. Babies hatch, dig themselves out, and are on their own to survive.
- They can stay under water for 28 minutes.
