Well, I’m back.  The Cayman Islands have virtually no internet, so I have to wait to get back home to start posting new stuff.

What the Cayman Islands lacked in internet, it sure made up for in atmosphere, hilarity and wildlife.  I’ll get to the three words in the previous sentence in the next few days, including the wild life.  This post does deal with the wild life though.

The Cayman Islands are full of iguanas.  I have a real soft spot for those animals.  I love animals that look like evolution or God or whatever just made and later laughed about.  There is the bull terrier, the Boston terrier, the bull dog and iguana.  All really make me laugh.

I learned during the vacation that iguanas come in all shapes and sizes.  They have fat arms, skinny arms and things hanging off their necks that look like beards.  They are also pretty damn elegant.

Let’s start with the grand daddy of the iguanas, the blue iguana.  They only live in the Cayman Islands and look like this:

A noble beast, if I ever say one.  Look at the arms.  He looks like he is wearing a wet suit that is too large.  Let’s see a few more views:

These blue darlings are endangered, so they live in a park named after England’s current monarch.  And they probably get fed extensively by the park rangers.

The island also featured other kinds of iguanas.  Like this guy:

That beard or whatever it was would open and close based on how close you got to the iguana.  See:

Some of them were kind of tiny, but agile looking:

And this finally, this unusual creature:

I bet the iguana picked this spot specifically because it was so stylish.  Those iguanas. Never a dull moment.
