Taiping Zoo (7) : Green Iguana

The gorgeous Green Iguana.... Anyone interested to keep this as pet? Definitely not me...I still prefer keeping mammals as pets compared to reptiles. I can't imagine myself keeping the green iguana as pet. And I can't imagine putting the giant lizard on my shoulders or playing with the green coloured thingy either.. Yucks :P

The swimming iguana... swimming towards my direction.. Looking with great interest at me (to be exact, he was staring at me), seeing what on earth was I doing (cos I was holding the camera taking his photo) ...

After finding out that I was just a friendly visitor who did no harm to him, the green iguana dived into the pond and swam away.. Swimming in style.. Ada Gaya Ada Sensasi.. Looks like a "huge frog" from afar :P

to be continued...

oops... U like to touch iguana.. I never touch the iguana before but now I remember.. I touched the crocodile before :P During one of the crocodile show during the Penang Festival aka Pesta Pulau Pinang few years back. At the end of the show, they let the audience touch the crocodile.. Out of curiosity, I went & touch as well.. Of course with the croc's mouth closed lah.. hahah.. I still remember the feeling :D

Hey, now we're talking! Roasted Iguana!! Mmm, I am sure that must be a delicacy somewhere on Earth..

(LOL at carcar's growing obsession with Lormaikai..)
