ʻO ka Green Iguana: Ke kumu, ke ʻano, a me ke ʻano
Aia nā wahi kūlohelohe o ka iguana ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma ka ʻākau o ʻAmelika Hema a me ʻAmelika Waena; He mea maʻamau ka moʻo ma ke ʻano he entozoon ma nā mokuʻāina hema o ʻAmelika.
Inā ʻoe e nānā pono, ʻaʻole ʻōmaʻomaʻo ka iguana: ʻano ʻulaʻula-ʻōmaʻomaʻo-hinahina nā holoholona. I nā kāne, loaʻa pinepine kahi ʻano ʻalani-ʻeleʻele. Me ko lākou "prickly" hope crest, pronounced throat dewlap, a me ka lōʻihi huelo, ʻōmaʻomaʻo iguanas e hoʻomanaʻo i nā "dragons".
ʻO nā iguanas ʻōmaʻomaʻo he mau lā, kūpaʻa i ko lākou wahi, a pale aku i nā mea hoʻokūkū ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i ko lākou huelo ma ke ʻano he huikau.
