Description
Iguanas are lizards identified by their stocky stature, the saggy skin on their throats, and the spines that protrude from their heads, necks, backs and tails. They can live approximately 15 to 20 years. Iguanas like warm temperatures; they are cold blooded. There are 35 recognized species of iguana, according to the University of Michigan's Animal Diversity Web. However, ADW reports that the Iguanid family is undergoing "much systematic revision." The taxonomy of iguanas, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), is:
Kingdom: Animalia Subkingdom: Bilateria Infrakingdom: Deuterostomia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Infraphylum: Gnathostomata Superclass: Tetrapoda Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Suborder: Iguania Family: Iguanidae Genera: Amblyrhynchus, Brachylophus, Conolophus, Ctenosaura, Cyclura, Dipsosaurus, Iguana, Sauromalus Species: Examples include:
Iguana iguana (green iguana)
Brachylophus bulabula (Fiji banded iguana)
Amblyrhynchus cristatus (Galápagos marine iguana)
Conolophus marthae (Galápagos pink land iguana)
Dipsosaurus dorsalis (common desert iguana)
Ctenosaura bakeri (Utila spiny-tailed iguana)
