The iguanas of this island thrive here because they are close to nature. The iguanas can be seen next to streams and rivers. Some people will notice them as they sit on the trees, soaking up the sun's rays on their bodies. They can get a glimpse of these iguanas while they are eating fruits, flowers, seeds and the leaves off bushes. If they feel threatened, they will dive in the water. It is a good thing these iguanas are fast runners and excellent swimmers.
Some of their habitats include the cacti, shrubs and burrows. It used to be the iguanas could be seen along the coastline but because people traveling bother the area, they have retreated back to the other side of Puerto Vallarta. Even though these do not mind these areas of habitats, they do miss the open beachfront where they can bask in the sun. Why do they do this? They stay in the sun to regulate the temperature of their body.
Puerto Vallarta Iguana's Defense
When the Puerto Vallarta iguana feels threatened or when they sense an attack is coming, they use their tails to strike. Not to mention they will bite or scratch an enemy. This is their way to defend themselves. Besides all this, they are rather harmless to humans.
Because of the destruction of the trees to make way for other things for tourist and natives alike, the natural habitat and the lives for these iguanas are in jeopardy. It is important that people of this island restore what was once an island habitat for these iguanas before they disappear.
On a side note - for those who visit this island and see the iguanas, most would love to own them as pets.
