What does IGUANA mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large tropical lizard with a spiny crest running along its back, native mainly to Central and South America.
Iguanas are mostly plant-eating lizards that spend much of their time in trees near water, using their long tails and strong claws to move easily through branches, and their green colouring helps them blend into leaves. Several unrelated species around the world, such as marine and desert lizards, are sometimes loosely called iguanas because they belong to the same broad lizard family, though the word most often refers to the large green iguana kept as a pet or found across Central America. In some regions iguana meat and eggs have long been eaten as food.
