An iguana is a large lizard found mostly in Central and South America and the Caribbean, often with a long tail, sharp claws, and a row of spines along its back. Some iguanas are kept as pets.
From Spanish "iguana," from Arawak (Caribbean indigenous) word "iwana" for this type of lizard. European explorers borrowed the local name along with the animal itself.
Iguanas can fall from trees in cold weather, appear dead, and then "wake up" when they warm back up—their bodies just temporarily shut down. Some species can even stay underwater for long periods, using slow heartbeats to save oxygen.
