Iguana Moves Open Response

This worksheet explains how iguanas move and adapt to their environments using different physical abilities. Iguanas are excellent climbers and swimmers, which helps them avoid predators and find food. Their strong legs, sharp claws, and long tails help them climb trees, swim in water, and even break off part of their tail to escape danger. Some iguanas can run fast, while others are adapted for underwater movement. Students should read the passage to understand these traits and how they help iguanas survive.
