I Saw Godzilla This Morning..............

imax

A few from this morning


A Blue Jay





A Squirrel





A Broken Home






Cat in the grass






And here is Godzilla


Spotted him from the road as I was passing by. It's a little lake by my house. I always knew there were iguanas there just never knew that one was this big











I sat and watched this monster for quite a while. Plenty of shots to go through so more to follow. Thanks for looking. See more photographs further below.......

Whoa!!! I wonder how many of those birds he had for breakfast before you got there!!! How long do you estimate him to be? My brother and family raised one from 3 inches to apprx. 5 feet including tail. They finally gave him up to a local reptilian store. They do get big!

Birds were ok with that thing being that close???

:jawdrop Now, that's big!
I've seen Iguanas, but never that big.
It's a good thing you included the birds in the shot as a point of reference.
The other shot are very good, but Godzilla stole the show

I doubt he'd be up for a measurement and I'm not sure that I'd even want to try . But I would guess 6 feet from head to tail





Also I don't believe that he has eaten any of the birds. He was chomping on grass while I sat and watched.








Some of his friends










Thanks for looking and commenting. Have a great night

Great shots. Where are they taken. The only place where I have seen them that big is in Coasta Rica. I've seen some in the Keys but not that big. I really like #2 in the second set.

Iguana's will eat crickets and dog food, but for the most part, they are veggie-sauruses

That's one big lizard. Excellent shots. Are iguanas good eating? It seems so:

Sopi Di Yuwana (Iguana Soup)

1 Iguana
1 1/2 quarts of iguana broth (or chicken broth)
2 Chicken bouillon cubes
1 Clove of garlic
1 Leek
1 Tomato, coarsely chopped
1 Onion, studded with 3 cloves
1 Green Pepper, quartered
1/4 small Cabbage
1 tsp Cumin
1 dash Nutmeg
Salt and Pepper
2 oz Vermicelli

Kill, clean, skin and cut the Iguana into serving pieces.
Prepare chicken broth in heavy kettle, add garlic, leek, tomato, onion, green pepper and cabbage. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for thirty minutes. Add the iguana, and simmer an additional half hour, or until the meat is tender. Remove from the fire. Strain broth, discarding vegetables. Bone the iguana and set the meat aside. Return the broth to the fire and add cumin, nutmeg, vermicelli and salt and pepper. Simmer for about five minutes until the vermicelli is tender. Add the iguana and heat thoroughly. Serve piping hot with Funchi (Corn meal mush).

good eating y'all:eat
