Support. Nice species to pick. Brandmeister t 11:39, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Good EV, especially for its colours. The Marine Iguana article suggests that only males are brightly coloured, and only during the mating season. It would be good to include this information in the caption. --Avenue (talk) 22:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is definitely some ambiguity, my understanding is that the iguanas found on Espanola are brightly colored all year round because of the concentrated pigments in their diet. Perhaps clarity in this area could be improved in the article Benjamint 01:10, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
