The iguana is a kind of crocodile, although not really a crocodile...

The blue iguana is one of the longest living species of lizard (possibly up to 69 years).

So it's a real desert for not only for the penguins and the sea lions and the marine iguanas ... things die when there's no food.

The blue iguana prefers dwelling in rocky, sunlit, open areas in dry forests or near the shore, as the females must dig holes in the sand to lay eggs in June and July.

The fossil record indicates that the blue iguana was abundant before European colonization but fewer than 15 animals remained in the wild by 2003, and this wild population was predicted to become extinct within the first decade of the 21st century.
