Ama-iguana amancane adla amabhungane, kuyilapho abantu abadala beshintshela esilwaneni esihlwabusayo, njengamagundane.
Banekhanda elikhulu, elinemihlathi enamandla enamandla okwazi ukubulala inyamazane ngokunyakaza okuningi.
Ngasikhathi sinye, zigijima ngokukhulu ukushesha, ijubane eliphezulu elirekhodwe ngu-26 km / h.
Ukugcina la ma-igwana, udinga ukuwondla kaningi futhi ngobuningi bawo. Ziyizibankwa ezikhuthele, ezinomzimba omkhulu, futhi zidinga ukondliwa cishe nsuku zonke.
