About this work

Iguana posing in the Oslo Reptile Park (Green Iguana – Iguana iguana). It's an adult male, and his name is Charlie. The small wound on his nose is self-inflicted. During the mating season (spring-time), he turns a bit aggressive and will sometimes throw himself at his keepers and straight into walls. Those wounds heal quickly by themselves.
