Description

Iguana iguana

English: Iguana posing in the Oslo Reptile Park (Green IguanaIguana 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.
العربية: صورة لتشارلي، وهو ذكر بالغ من حيوانات الإغوانا ،لاحظ الجرح على أنفه وهو جرح يندمل بسرعة ويحدث بسبب عدوانية الإغوانا في موسم التزاوج.
Français : Iguane (Iguana iguana) dans le parc aux reptiles d'Oslo.
Suomi: Charlie-niminen iguaani (Iguana iguana) Oslon matelijapuistossa. Eläin on täysikasvuinen uros, jonka pieni nenänpäässä oleva vamma on itseaiheutettu. Keväisin paritteluaikaan Charlie muuttuu hieman aggressiiviseksi ja syöksyy joskus seiniä ja hoitajiaan päin. Törmäilystä syntyneet vammat parantuvat itsekseen.
Norsk bokmål: Iguanen Charlie poserer i Oslo Reptilpark (no:Grønn iguanIguana iguana). Dette er en voksen hann. Det lille såret på snuten er selvpåført. Om våren er det paringstid for denne arten, og da blir Charlie så vill og aggressiv at han kaster seg mot både dyrepassere såvel som vegger. Sårene leges fort av seg selv.
