Wildlife of Riviera Maya: huge iguana chilling on patio

in animalphotography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi fellow Steemians!

I am here with another animal photo to brighten up your Monday :)

I have already published some photos of Mexican iguanas on my blog but these guys never fail to amaze me (and amuse me :D) so here is another shot of this awesome creature :)

Just a little background info: the iguana was about 1 m (3.3 ft) long. The patio he was chilling on was actually a part of a beach apartment (with some tourists staying in it!). And yeah, he couldn´t care less about me taking photos of him from some 30-cm (12-in) distance! :D

Well, in one of my recent posts, I said the sloth is the world´s most laid-back animal for me but I must admit that these Mexican fellas are capable of some decent chill too :))

So chill! Good luck but don't cross my kitty. Haha!

Haha, thanks! :D

I saw those fellows all the time when I visited Mexico.

Yeah, they are everywhere! I will soon post a video of me handfeeding them hibiscus :)

Já to dnes zkouším s papouškem...

Tak mě napadlo, ve světě se jí ledacos, není tohle taky ten případ? Že bys měl rovnou fotku i do food. ;)

Ne, vážně, jsou to zajímaví tvorové. Bývalá kolegyně jich má plný barák. Samozřejmě nerozeznám druhy, ale někteří vypadali opravdu jako draci. ;)

Papouščí fotku jsem viděl, velmi zdařilá :)

No máš recht, leguáni se ve většině mexických států jedí, tady na Yucatánu ale naštěstí ne, jsou chránění, takže je jich tu všude plno :) A někteří opravdu vypadají jako draci :)

Me ha encantado esta fotografía!

Yeah, near and sunbathe would be scary ))

They might look a bit scary but these guys are usually completely harmless :) Actually, I will soon post a video of me hand-feeding them! Thanks for stopping by :)
