Iguanas

Iguanas are herbivorous lizards native to tropical areas of Mexico, Central America, several islands in Polynesia such as Fiji and Tonga, and the Caribbean. Iguana can range from 4ft. to 6ft. including their tail. Iguanas have excellent vision and can see shapes, shadows, colors, and movement at long distances. Iguanas use their eyes to navigate through crowded forests, as well as for finding food. They use visual signals to communicate with other members of the same species

In the 1966 episode of Star Trek entitled "Charlie X", the character of Charlie Evans used his cosmic powers to turn annoying yeoman Tina Lawton into a lizard. After Charlie was reprimanded by his Thasian guardians, Lawton was turned back to normal.

The creature known as Godzilla, specifically the one featured in the 1998 Godzilla: The Series animated program based on the American sci-fi/action film Godzilla, is based largely on an iguana. The giant mutated animal has physical characteristics similar to an iguana, which is a radical departure from classic representations of the animal.
