The Green Iguanas are originally from South America. Contrary to popular belief, they cannot change colour! This   Iguana in Madras Crocodile Bank is   about seven years old and enjoy gorging on a variety of fruits, vegetables and greens twice a day. They also need much attention from park staff and volunteers, who spend time with them and mist them with water to keep them cool. The contact also habituates the lizards to people, so they don't get scared.

green iguana (Iguana iguana), also known as the American iguana or the common green iguana, is a large, arboreal, mostly herbivorous species of lizard of the genus Iguana. Usually, this animal is simply called the iguana. The green iguana ranges over a large geographic area; it is native from southern Brazil and Paraguay
