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:Southern flying squirrels live in wooded areas of the eastern United States, southeastern Canada, Mexico, and Honduras. The loose flap of skin, called the“gliding membrane, attached from its wrist to its ankle helps it glide in the appearance of flying. They also have large eyes for their nocturnal adventures. |
