Description | Description:Common green iguanas live throughout Central to South America and it is the largest known lizard that loves to dwell on tree canopies. They act frozen when threatened but once caught, it will whip its tail and rotate wildly. Its skin is traded as luxury leather. | Description:Hoffman’s two-toed sloth lives in tropical forest trees of Nicaragua, Peru, Central Brazil, and northern South America. They spend their lives hanging upside down: eating, sleeping, mating, and even giving birth in an upside down position. Walking is not in their nature, so they only crawl when on ground. |
