Baby Iguana - A baby iguana is a sought-after meal for many potential predators in the rainforest. Its main form of defense is stealth: by remaining perfectly still when it senses danger, its emerald-green body blends perfectly into the surrounding vegetation. This individual was one of a small group I found sheltering in a small tree in Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica.
