One of the places we stopped on the cruise was Cerro Dragun which means dragon hill - named after the land iguanas which live there. They are pretty damn big for a lizard, but not quite dragon sized. They grow to about a metre long (tail included). On our walk around the island we saw about a dozen big males, a couple of the females disappearing into the bush (they're a bit shy) and one baby. The babies are blue and for some reason he was just sitting in the top of a bush waiting for me to spot him.
Towards the end we came across two large males having a face-off in the middle of the track. It was amazing. They were nose to nose starring at each other and shaking their heads. Apparently, best head shaker is the winner and the other has to get off his turf. And they don't shake side to side it's more of a head fit - up-up-up up-up-up down up-up-up up-up-up down - sorry not enough internet to upload the video, but you get the idea.
