Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana), Costa Rica. Every year in early spring, female green iguanas climb down from the tall trees of Costa Rica's rain forests and lay their eggs in sandy beaches along the ocean. And every year, people are waiting to catch and eat them. Eating iguanas is an ancient tradition for the people of Costa Rica. They call iguanas "chicken of the trees." Image by Andres Morya
