Subspecies:
Ctenosaura hemilopha macrolopha
Sonoran Spiny-tailed Iguana
April 9, 1999
One of the reptile keepers at this fabulous museum/zoo/botanical garden told me that these iguanas had been deliberately introduced in the 1970's, and had since established a breeding population. We saw two of them basking on the boulders by the Bighorn Sheep exhibit. Thanks to Stephane Poulin of the ASDM for identifying the subspecies.
