Iguana-Verde (Iguana iguana)Observador
dwightmDescrição
A “gallina de palo” as they are called in Puerto Rico, apparently got hit by a car. In her last burst of life, she left her eggs behind on the grass. I’ve never seen anything like this as all her eggs seemed to be in one long membrane tube. Puerto Rico’s Iguanas flourish in March and April as the heat begins to increase.

First time seeing this species and also has to be by far the prettiest mushroom I’ve ever seen. Growing underneath mixed cottonwood/alder/maple forest
