Iguana, by Escael Marrero

Photograph was taken in Varadero, Cuba. This reptile was walking between the houses. They are about 25 inches long but can reach much larger sizes, very fast, and feed on insects. For several days I was trying to get a good picture of them, this one was from a distance, as they disappeared quickly while approaching.
