Illustration of the Rhinoceros Iguana, Cyclura cornuta cornuta
One of the largest of the Iguanas, mature Rhinoceros Iguanas can be anywhere from two to four feet in length. They get their name from three horn-like outgrowths on the end of their nose. They are a dusky gray or olive green in color, with barely visible dark cross bands, which allows them to blend in with the rock and scrub brush of their natural habitat. Like other cold-blooded reptiles, these Iguanas must bask in the sun to warm themselves before becoming active during the day (diurnal.) Iguanas of the Cyclura genus are found on many Caribbean islands, however the Rhinoceros Iguana is only found on the island of Hispaniola in both Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
