Although a poser, the Fiji crested iguana is a critically endangered species of iguana native to some of the northwestern islands of the Fijian archipelago
Living under the shade of trees, they will seek sunlight/heat on days with cool temperatures. They can rapidly change colour from green to black when aroused. They use this ability when threatened by potential predators in their surroundings – the colours will vary depending on the severity of the situation; bright green is standard, dark green would be slightly dangerous and black would be extreme. If its white bands or sudden colour change has not intimidated a predator, it will resort to an expansion of its neck, a bobbing of its head and will then pounce towards the potential threat.
