(Iguana iguana)<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Distribution and habitat<\/strong>
The green iguana is an arboreal reptile native to the tropical regions of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. It mainly inhabits humid forests near rivers and other bodies of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characteristics<\/strong>
It can reach up to 2 meters in length, including the tail, and weigh between 4 and 8 kg. Its skin shows an intense green color in its juvenile stage, becoming more grayish or even orange in adulthood. It has a prominent dorsal crest and a dewlap, which it uses to regulate its body temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diet<\/strong>
It is strictly herbivorous, feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruits. A fiber-rich diet is essential to maintain its digestive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conservation<\/strong>
Although it is not globally endangered, the green iguana faces threats from the illegal pet trade and the loss of its natural habitat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2592,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"grupo-animal":[51],"class_list":["post-3202","animal","type-animal","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","grupo-animal-reptile"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nGreen iguana - Natura Parc Mallorca<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/naturaparc.net\/animal\/iguana-verde\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Green iguana - Natura Parc Mallorca\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"(Iguana iguana) Distribution and habitatThe green iguana is an arboreal reptile native to the tropical regions of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
