Records. Table 2.
Common Green Iguanas were easily identified by their shape and size, and particularly by their pendulous dewlap under the throat, dorsal crest of dermal spines
running from mid neck to the tail base, and long, tapering tail ( Fig. 6). Other distinguishing features include the skull plates that are larger than others elsewhere on the body, the parietal eye that is located dorsally behind the eyes, and the subtympanic plate. We collected 2 roadkilled specimens (ZUFMS-REP02732 and REP02741).
