Black Iguana has extraordinary scales on their lengthy tail which made them known for as they are. Speaking of length, males can mature up to 1.5 meters while the females can only reach up to 1 meter. Pointy spines near their head up to the back are also distinguishable. Color varies among their group; grayish are commonly noticed among adults. Around their head and throat with a little touch of blue and peach around their jaw, the color orange will appear among males.

Black iguanas spend more time on the ground than in trees, though they are excellent climbers when the need arises. Young black iguanas also stay up off the ground more, probably to avoid being eaten by larger specimens. Black Iguanas could be found throughout Costa Rica and the country’s national parks.
