Iguanas
are
reptiles.

reptiles

scales
and
are
cold-blooded.

think
that
iguanas
communicate

other
by
moving
their
eyes
very
quickly.
Some
iguanas
are
brightly
colored.
Others
are
dull
in
color.

also
live
in
Mexico
and
the

Many

rain
forests.
You

often
find
them
high
up
in
trees.

plant
eaters.
They
eat
fruit
and
leaves.
Young
iguanas
eat
insects
and
spiders
too.
Female
iguanas
lay
their
eggs
in
burrows.
After
hatching,
a
baby
iguana
is
on
its
own
to
find
a
branch
to
call
its
home.
In
the
wild,
different
species
of
iguanas
can
live
anywhere
from
four
to
