Attack of the Big Brown Iguana - Puerto Vallarta

Big Brown Iguana

While we were attempting to get a picture of an emerald green iguana climbing a palm tree we were startled by this big guy, a three foot long garrobo. In puerto Vallarta green iguanas are called iguanas, but the brown-gray iguanas are called garrobos.

He looks mean but Iguanas are usually quite docile. They don’t want
much to do with you. As we moved closer to get a good picture he
scooted away. Iguanas are surprisingly fast when they want to be.
