Green iguanas naturally range from central Mexico south to Paraguay and Brazil. Although you may have come across one in Florida, where they were purposely introduced by an exotic pet dealer in the mid 1960s. Allegedly, he released 300 of them and they were able to successfully establish a sustainable population. I photographed this one in Guyana as it strolled along a river bank, beneath a tree where several others were resting. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 560, f/5.6 at 1/1600th of a second.

Most excellent profile, Sean!
Thanks Sue. Always nice when I can get that camera on the ground.
