Iguania is a clade of lizards that includes some of the raddest of them all. Iguanas, yes, but also chameleons, agamids, anoles, and so many others. They have colonized most of the world. So how did they do it? And what is an iguana anyway? Let's find out!

A curly tailed lizard saved my life in key west once. There was an enormous cockroach (palmetto bug) on the sidewalk in broad daylight, blocking my path. That roach feared no man, he was the gutter king of that patch of sidewalk, and he knew it. there was no getting past him. Everyone was stepping onto the road in fear. Then, like a knight in shining armor, a curly tailed lizard came out of nowhere and gulped him down even though the roach was like a fourth of his size. We were able to safely pass by on our way and everyone on key west slept a little more soundly that night, knowing we had a hero watching over us all.

It's more than that to me. It's genuine in a way I struggle to explain. At first it was nearly a turn off because it sounded like gee golly let's look at some animals! Which is the type of enthusiasm that like Krusty the Clown has and as soon as the camera is off him, he collapses. But then I realized it's enthusiasm even with the camera off. It's almost like getting to see Krusty off camera with the cigarette in his mouth and he's still laughing

These phylogeny videos are always so cool. Sorry to change the subject Clint but I wanted to share a reptile story. My family was at the beach last week and my 4 year old daughter got sand in her eye. We went to wash it out and on the walk back from the bathroom we saw a rattlesnake (I suspect a Northern Pacific Rattlesnake.) It was less than a foot from the walking path. We have a pet hognose snake so my daughters LOVE snakes. I paused and told my 4 year old to hold still and I told her that there was a rattlesnake. She was at a safe distance. She simply smiled and said "it's SO CUTE!" I asked if we should get close to it and try and pet it and she immediately responded correctly that we don't get close to rattlesnakes. But she was never afraid and came back from getting her eyes rinsed out with a big smile and excitement because she got to see a rattlesnake up close but at a safe distance. I love how your videos have taught my girls and how having a snake has helped them love reptiles.

In the peak of watching Clint, I was struggling severely with OCD, but his videos were a really great escape for me and helped contribute to a full recovery. He's also the reason why Im now a father of 6 blue death feigning beetles 😂😂. Loved this video, thoroughly enthused by all of it. Which is always the case with this channel's content.

"During the breeding season, males display three different throat colors: orange, blue, or yellow. Each color corresponds to a specific mating strategy. Orange-throated males are territorial and defend large areas with multiple females. Blue-throated males are aggressive and take over territories from orange-throated males. Yellow-throated males mimic females and sneakily mate with females in their territories." So sometimes the bad boys get the girls, and sometimes the simps do!

Here is a cool fact about iguanas, they can hold their breath for around 10 minutes. I grew up in south Florida and iguanas would get scared into our pool by our dogs. And well, the dogs enjoyed the taste of iguanas. They would wait until the iguana would come up for air and grab it of the water, and that usually took about 10 minutes. We also on occasion got to see the lizards that walk on water, although they were always able to cross the pool and slip out on the other side before the dogs could get them.

They're right, Madagascar is where it's at. The largest land predator is a giant weasel that manages to fill both the dog and cat niches. The trees are populated with lemurs, which are like monkeys except not naughty (makes me wish we had evolved from lemurs instead). And I don't just mean boring old realistic trees, they also have baobabs, which are essentially a 6-year-old's drawing of a tree.

To tell the truth, there are so many amazing families in iguania you could spend the rest of the year on them, but please don't since you have so much more to cover. But do do them eventually. They're fascinating.

Cool video, man. A brain twister like always. I first learned about agamids as a kid growing up in Japan - we had the arboreal Diploderma polygonatum (Okinawa tree lizard). They were tough as hell to catch because you had to climb into the trees to get after them & if you managed to snag one they had a surprisingly strong bite ready for you. Beautiful lime/neon green & could change to brown. Forgot all about them, but this took me back ❤

Yay for this video! All of the deep dive videos seem fun, but I'd love to see the chameleon video sooner than later-- I visited a pet shop in a mall that had a few on display when I was a teenager. Watching them move was fascinating--the feet were so different than anything I've ever seen. I was sad to learn that they don't really make good pets--but they're still fascinating creatures

East Central Florida has seen two introduced species become quite prominent over the last several years. One is the northern curly tailed lizard, as you mentioned. The other is Peter's rock agama. (Also, we have crocodiles now too, but that is just a native species expanding its range.)
