This is a green iguana, of course. In addition to their color, they have other distinctive features, such as the large scale on their jaw, the dewlap hanging from their chin, and the spikes sunning the length of their spine.
This week we are showing photos from Tanzania on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

The first time I saw one of these in south Florida I about came out of my shoes...thought some prehistoric creature was loose!
There are a ton of them in south Florida and some very large. They will bite, though, but normally you can't get close to them.
handome devil!
I meant, handsome devil!
I have seen one here but it was someones pet. I don't think it would be a good pet, but you could name it 'Spike'.
Iguanas are so fun to watch
They look scarier than they probably are.
Thanks for your interesting and funny comment on Ocala today! It was very fortunate no one was hurt! :)
A few more pounds and I will look a lot like this iguana.
I like them, too. They're entertaining, the mini-dinosaurs of Tamarindo.
Watching iguanas is fascinating. They look so ugly for such harmless animals.
