How to use iguana in a sentence?

1. Gary Fishman:

   The iguana does not belong here, they need to be annihilated. They can’t be relocated. So they must be destroyed.

2. Ron Magill:

   I do know that there are several iguana hunters that are looking forward to this upcoming cold front as it will certainly facilitate them removing these invasive reptiles from the South Florida environment as they will not be able to run away !

3. Jordan Mah:

   There is we know a lot about animal bites and bacteria, infections, following, let’s say, dogs or cats, but there really isn’t much for lizards, let alone iguana, i don’t think people should be afraid, but doctors should be aware of the possibility.

4. James Aparicio:

   This genus of frog shows extreme endemism [found nowhere else on Earth] with several new species described in the last couple of decades across the Andean valleys of northern Bolivia and southern Peru, so we were hopeful of at least one discovery, much more surprisingly, on this same high altitude trip I was also lucky enough to discover a new Liolaemus iguana lizard in a valley at 4,500-meters of altitude.

5. Ron Magill:

   The temperature threshold for when iguanas begin to go into a dormant state depends greatly on the size of the iguana, generally speaking, the larger the iguana, the more cold it can tolerate for longer periods.
