Iguana - St.
Croix, Virgin Islands
The Iguana is a type of
lizard native to tropical areas and can be found throughout the
US Virgin Islands and the Lesser Antilles. The Lesser
Antillean Iguana, which is endemic to the US Virgin Islands is
endangered due to habitat destruction. Some may seem friendly
because they are used to tourists feeding them, but beware, they
can be nasty! When threatened they will use their spiny tail as
a whip.
