Profiles in Lizardom
Just thought I’d share some lizard pics I took on vacation in Bonaire a few years ago. There were tons of good sized iguanas roaming and swimming all over the place — they are often referred to as Bonaire “chicken”! One very large one took offense at my husband’s vivid yellow shirt and chased him twenty yards or so onto our patio where we mollified him with offerings of banana and some bok choy. (We read up on iguanas later and found out that some bright colors trigger aggression in them occasionally.)
We also encountered a tiny little tree lizard (or is that an amphibian?) who jumped on my son’s arm as well as an interestingly colored lizard with beautiful patches of aqua on his tail and feet. I’d love it if anyone can tell us what species it is!
