Label Me! Printouts

Iguanas are a type of lizard. These reptiles have a long tail, eyelids, and four sprawling legs. There are many different species of iguanas. These cold-blooded animals have a life span of about 15-20 years in captivity.

Habitat and Distribution: Iguanas are found in many different habitats in North and South America, including rainforests (like the Green Iguana), deserts (like the Desert Iguana), and the sea (like the Marine Iguana).

Anatomy: Iguanas vary in color from green to brown to yellow. They use their powerful legs to swim and climb trees.

Diet: Iguanas are primarily herbivores (plant-eaters). They eat leaves, flowers, and fruit. They also supplement their diet with insects, worms, and other small animals.

Reproduction: A female will dig a shallow trench in moist soil in which she will lay 20-70 eggs. After covering the eggs with soil, there is no more parental care. When the eggs hatch, the young live in trees and eat insects that they catch themselves.

Predators: Iguanas are killed by some large birds of prey, foxes, rats, weasels, some snakes, and people. Their eggs are also eaten by many animals.
