They are indeed green, but they can also be blue or orange, and they can grow up to six feet long including their tail! These lizards have a row of spines running down their backs to their tails, which makes them look like tiny dinosaurs. And just like a dinosaur, they also have sharp claws and powerful jaws, but don't worry, they are mostly friendly.  \nBuilding on their dinosaur-like features, green iguanas have an interesting life cycle. After the female iguana lays her eggs in a burrow, she leaves and never comes back. The baby iguanas have to make their journey to the surface on their own, after hatching from the eggs.
