Yes, there are iguanas on Cayo! And they are enormous. This photo doesn't do them justice, but I estimate the largest one I've seen so far is about 6 feet long. Some of them have bright orange undersides and many of them have tails with thick black strips. I was talking to Josue, a fellow researcher from Puerto Rico, about the iguanas and how they are invasive to Cayo and all of Puerto Rico. He told me that the locals call the iguanas "iguanas de pollo" because they taste like chicken.
