A very powerful and amazing series of photos. Jim spent about a week at an ecology reserve on the Veracruz coast of Mexico doing egg research with the person who took this photograph, Maria Socorro Lara Lopez. Jim with iguana on his shoulder Here wild iguanas from the Peruvian jungle sit comfortably on the author's shoulder and hand as Jim talks to the local children. After Jim is done with the iguanas, the lizards are returned unharmed back to the jungle. For your information, the author has gone to someplace in Latin America to learn more about green iguanas for over 10 years now.
Any new information is incorporated into a future reprinting of the book or put in a newsletter.
