Iguana Figurine

With its prehistoric look and scale-covered body, the iguana is one of the most fascinating reptiles in Central and South America. It is recognized by its bristly dorsal crest, long tail, and a fold of skin on its throat called a dewlap.

Herbivorous, it feeds mainly on leaves, flowers, and fruits, which it finds in the tropical vegetation where it spends most of its time. Surprisingly, the iguana is an excellent climber and can drop into the water to escape danger, where it swims with great ease. Thanks to its ability to regulate its temperature by alternating sunbathing and shaded areas, it adapts perfectly to hot climates.

This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the iguana: serrated crest, detailed scales, and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent exotic stories, or raise children's awareness of the diversity of the reptile world.
