In addition to a wide array of beautiful butterflies, the Butterfly Garden also has reptiles including iguanas and turtles. Usually, the iguana spends most of its time in the foliage. However, sometimes it comes down to ground level to visit and annoy the turtles. For some twenty minutes, the iguana made itself a pain in the neck by climbing on top of the turtles and bothering them. I can only imagine that the iguana had visions of being a major predator bringing down its prey. The turtles responded by pulling in their heads or attempting to crawl away. Since the iguana had not teeth, it could do little but gum the turtles until it became bored of the game. The shot was taken in August 2017, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
