Rhinoceros Iguana: The 'Dragon' Smarter Than a Dog

Meet the Rhinoceros Iguana: The 20lb lizard with horns, a third eye, and the personality of a dog.
If you think dinosaurs are extinct, you haven't met the Rhinoceros Iguana. Native to the island of Hispaniola, this massive reptile looks like it walked straight out of the Jurassic period. But there is more to this "Dragon" than just scary looks.
In this video, we dive deep into the Caribbean dry forest to uncover the secrets of the Rhino Iguana.
We cover:
The Horns: Are they bone or scale? And what are they actually used for?
The Third Eye: How a tiny dot on their head acts as a solar panel.
Salt Sneezing: The gross (but cool) way they filter ocean salt.
Intelligence: Why scientists compare their brains to dogs, not just other lizards.
Conservation: How we can save this Endangered species from extinction.
The Rhinoceros Iguana is one of the smartest, most misunderstood creatures on the planet. Let’s find out why they deserve to be called the Kings of the Rock.
