Science > Animals > Reptiles > What is an iguana?

An iguana is a large lizard found mostly in the warmer parts of Central and South America. Many iguanas have a ridge of spines down the middle of the back. Unlike other lizards, iguanas eat only plants. The marine iguana is unique to the Galapagos Island, and is the only lizard to be a marine reptile. Some kinds of iguanas are endangered.
