Iguana Relaxing at el Morro Fort Old San Juan
My Thoughts on the Image
The Green Iguana was brought over to Puerto Rico from Central America & South America as a Pet.
Some of these pets escaped others where released. This create a problem making the American Iguana an invasive species.
It also has no natural born predator.
Days after taking this picture at San Juan's el Morro Fort.
I realized the symbolism of what my island is going through and this Iguana sitting on top of El Morro Fort.
