	The Garrobo or Black iguana *(Ctenosaura similis) is closely related to the more well-known green iguana (Iguana iguana)* but is generally darker and less greenish with a shorter tail. The garrobo also lacks a large scale on the side of the head, possessed by green iguanas. These lizards are often seen further from water than are green iguanas. (Photos: Alan Journet July 2002)
