Great observation! If you look at all iguanas, they are very agile little creatures. Just because the Mona Island Iguana is big, it doesn't impede their mobility. They are very good climbers, look at their feet. They grip with their toes and nails to get over fences and can just about get anywhere. Did you know, they are very good swimmers. When their surroundings are flooded, they leap into the waters and swim to get to better land. I've seen them. Animals evolve in order to survive, this one sure did. They like to climb trees to get away from the heat. Trees provide them with a way to cool off and they can eat the insects found on them, like ants. That's why we Puertorricans also call them "gallina de palo" which translates, tree chicken. In Puerto Rico, chickens that roam around free leap up into the trees to sleep at night. I'm sure glad you have decided not to make him part of your culinary experience while on the island! Happy travels! J
