The Mexican Spiny-tailed iguana is a social lizard, which has adapted to living in groups as opposed to other species, which tend to be solitary animals. They typically spend their days lounging in the sun to keep warm and from time to time they will get up for a snack.

Enjoying nature ... even on spring break

Spring break found me in Puerto Vallarta enjoying fishing, sightseeing, photography and discovering iguana. Walking around Los Penas marina in Puerto Vallarta one morning last week I couldn’t help but notice a group of people eying something on the pavement and grass between the boardwalk and the water. They were watching someone hand-feed hibiscus flowers to an iguana.
