The green iguana threatens the ecological balance in the United States

The green iguana is a species of arboreal and herbivorous lizard measuring up to two meters long for a weight of 5 kg. The animal possesses a vast natural range in South and Central America, but it has also established itself elsewhere through escape. Populations are thus found in the United States, notably in Florida, Hawaii and Texas, where it disrupts the local ecosystem.
