Rhinoceros iguana — size comparison — facts and sources

The rhinoceros iguana (Cyclura cornuta) is a large lizard of Hispaniola and neighbouring islands. It inhabits dry forests, scrub and rocky ground. A heavy head and powerful legs suit movement on land.

It feeds chiefly on plants and uses ground-level shelters. Enlarged snout scales resemble small horns and give the species its name.

It eats leaves, flowers and fruit. A female excavates an egg chamber. Males are larger than females.
