The Black Spiny-tailed Iguana, also known as the Wish Willy or Ctenosaura similis, is a fascinating reptile found in various parts of Central America. With its distinctive black coloration and spiky tail, this iguana species stands out among its peers. One breathtaking location where you can spot these incredible creatures is Halfmoon Caye, situated near the Lighthouse. Picture No. 10946845 captures the essence of their beauty against a backdrop of lush greenery. The brown hue on their skin is a result of recent rains and mud coating them in Parque Nacional Coiba, Panama - an UNESCO World Heritage Site (Picture No. 10946839). These agile climbers are not only skilled at blending into their surroundings but also possess remarkable adaptability to different environments. In Picture No. 10946843 and Picture No. 10946831, we witness their ability to thrive even amidst rocky terrains. A closer look at these enchanting creatures reveals intricate details that make them truly captivating (Spiny-tailed Iguana (Ctenosaura similis), close up, side view).
