Rhinoceros iguana (Jurassic park)



 
Remember Jurassic park, When I saw him, I was just like WOW! he reminds me of Dainasores. Back to age when they ruled on earth. Their name derives from the bony-plated pseudo-horn or outgrowth which resembles the horn of a rhinoceros on the iguana's snout. Rhinoceros iguana is from the family of Galapagos marine iguana. This powerful lizard's body is quite stout and is crested with a row of spines along the back. It has strong legs that enable it to walk with its body well elevated from the ground. They are usually a dull grey-brown colour. A fully grown male is quite an impressive animal - the can be 56 cm in length and weigh 10 kg. They are primarily herbivorous, consuming leaves, flowers, berries, and fruits from different plant species.
