In Costa Rica, the green iguana is found along the Pacific and Caribbean Coasts, as well as in north-central Costa Rica. Visitors will have good luck spotting these large lizards near Arenal, Tortuguero, around the Osa Peninsula, Manuel Antonio, and along Guanacaste's Gold Coast. A regular green iguana can measure 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in length up to more than 2 meters (6.6 feet) and can weigh 20 pounds (9.1kg) or more. Usually, they are found near water during the day. Swift climbers, green iguanas have no problem in falling from a 50 feet height since they use their hind leg claws to grab onto leaves branches to avoid the harsh fall. They like to stay on the ground to warm themselves during the cold and wet seasons. They use their tail to move in water as they keep themselves submersed. Ironically, green iguanas are not really just green. They come in the color blue with black markings in Peru. Meanwhile in Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba and Grenada, one can be seen in lavender and surprisingly, pink in color. In the western parts of Costa Rica and Mexico, these reptiles have red and orange exteriors respectively.
