5 Interesting Facts About Iguanas!

Iguanas have a photoreceptive organ on the top of their head called a parietal eye - sometimes called a 'third eye', it detects changes in light and shadow and helps warn of predators approaching from above.
They can drop their tail to escape a predator - the detached tail keeps wriggling to distract the attacker while the iguana escapes, and a new tail gradually regrows over several months.
Marine iguanas of the Galápagos Islands are the only lizards in the world that feed in the sea - they dive to eat algae from underwater rocks, holding their breath for up to 30 minutes.
Iguanas sneeze more than almost any other reptile - they have salt-excreting glands in their nasal passages and regularly sneeze out excess salt absorbed from their plant-heavy diet.
Despite being herbivores as adults, baby iguanas eat insects and small animals for their first year of life - they need the extra protein to fuel their rapid early growth.
