I came face to face with many iguanas while I was in Ecuador... literally. But I managed to learn a simple 3-step procedure to become the best of friends with them - except for that one iguana who was just a jerk.
[Above] Step 1 - Establish eye contact
[Above] Step 2 - Find a common interest or something to talk about, e.g. architecture.
[Above] Step 3 - Mention that their new butt looks wonderful.
[N.b. Like many lizards, iguanas can "drop" their tails. Should a predator grab hold of the iguana’s tail, the detached piece thrashes and wriggles to distract the predator while the iguana runs to safety.]
