🦎 These big iguanas can grow 1.3m (4.1ft long) 🤩 and can sprint 35km/hr (22mph)! The black spiny-tailed iguana is named after the black spiked scales on their tails, which are used for defence from predators. As they nature, they have 4-12 dark stripes on their sides and long spikes along their spine. It was so amazing to observe these amazing reptiles on my trip to Tulum, Mexico! They are native to Mexico and Central America and can be found in rocky environments where trees are present. Thes
