Have you seen an iguana's tongue? Have you ever wanted to see an iguana's tongue? We tossed a banana peel to this iguana and he rewarded us with the opportunity for this photo of an iguana's tongue.At the risk of getting too contemplative regarding evolution, please indulge the following observation. Iguanas seem so pre-historic in the evolutionary chain, with scales rather than skin, and other features that seem so different than ours, yet their tongue seems rather similar to the tongues of humans and other mammals.
We are showing photos of Chichen Itza this week on our travel photo site, Viva la Voyage.
Looks like he's giving you a raspberry, Dave. Some things seem to be shared cross-species.
ReplyDeleteNo and No. However, now that I have I must say it's not what I expected.
ReplyDeleteA sight I never expected to see!
ReplyDeleteIf you are unable to peel a banana just eat it all. Nice close up of this guy. He looks like he is watching you pretty closely.
ReplyDeleteA good close up of the critter!
ReplyDeleteLove these little creatures; saw many of them wandering around in Mexico. A face only a mother could love? No, I like them just as they are, tongue and all!
ReplyDeletepretty cool to see the tongue like this. i actually really like the prehistoric looks of the iguana. very cool and grand looking
