Rock Iguanas

Below are rock iguanas. Rock iguanas look similar to dinosaurs. Many rock iguanas live on the Little Cayman Island which is where these pictures of rock iguanas were taken. Rock iguanas are cold blooded reptiles with scale all over their bodies. Rock iguanas have no body temperature regulation system. That is why you see many iguanas sitting still in the sun. Rock iguanas do this for warmth. This process is called thermoregulation which is common for all iguanas, not just rock iguanas.

What do rock iguanas eat?

Rock iguanas eat fruit, flowers and leaves.

Rock iguanas like to live alone. Their biggest threats on the Little Cayman Island are uncontrolled dogs, cats, people, and getting hit by cars. Rock iguanas, like other types of iguanas, are very calm reptiles. They will stay still and don't move until they feel threatened. Below are great pictures of rock iguanas.
