Iguanas belong to a unique animal that is able to adapt to its environment including its food, iguanas can become insectivorous eaters, meat-eaters and plant-eaters. Many of them belong to a land iguana who likes to be on the tree even though there are also iguanas living on the cliffs of the seaside (sea iguana). all kinds of iguanas thrive by laying (ovipar). [2]

Actually, Iguanas do not belong to dangerous animals, but if in dangerous situations and conditions, iguana uses its tail as a whip to drive out the enemy.
