Happy October 11th 2011 !! Alpha's Featured Character: "Iggy Iguana"
A few interesting Iguana facts
Green Iguanas, also known as the most common Iguana are among the largest lizards in the
Americas. Fully grown they average about 6.5 feet and weigh about
11 pounds.
They are also among the most popular
reptile pets in the United States, even though they are very difficult to care
for properly. In fact, most captive iguanas die within the first year,
and many are either turned loose by their owners or given to reptile
rescue groups.
The green iguana’s extensive range comprises the
rain forests of northern Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands,
and southern Brazil. They spend most of their lives in the canopy,
descending only infrequently to mate, lay eggs, or change trees.
Iguanas are active during the day, feeding on leaves,
flowers, and fruit. They generally live near water and are excellent
swimmers. If threatened, they will leap from a branch, often from great
heights, and escape with a splash to the water below. They are also
tough enough to land on solid ground from as high as 40 feet
and survive.
The Iguana's strong build gives them a clumsy look, but
they are very fast and agile on land. They have strong jaws with razor-sharp
teeth and sharp tails, which make up half their body length and can be
used as whips to drive off predators. They can also detach their tails
if caught and will grow another without permanent damage.
Other
members of the iguana family include the Fiji Island banded iguana, the
desert iguana, and the Galápagos Islands marine iguana. Although they are called "green" iguanas, these
lizards are sometimes found other shades and colors besides green
including blue, orange, and purple. The color of their skin acts as
camouflage allowing them to blend into the landscape. An iguana's skin
is tough and waterproof.
Okay boys & girls, have fun learning today & remember you can see Iggy and his friends here on this cool Alpha's alphabet video on our Youtube channel!!!
