Figure 1 is an image that I took at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, FL of a green iguana (Iguana iguana). It is a very Jurassic Park kind of image. The green iguana is one of three iguana species in southern Florida, the other two being the black spiny-tailed iguana and the Mexican spiny-tailed iguana, All three are invasive species, yet perfectly well adapted to the environment.

We were waiting for an Uber and watched in dismay as one iggy kept trying to cross the road, but each time was thwarted by a car. Finally my traveling companion got up and stopped traffic so that Mr. Iggs could make its way across. That’s the kind person that she is. We need to live in harmony with nature and the natural world.
