Small Dragon Is Guarding Its Territory, Manuel Antonio Park

When I encountered this giant iguana by accident and just couple of meters away from us, I really started appreciating the power of 300 mm zoom lens... They have absolutely no fear for people and vigorously attack you if they believe that you're tresspassing their territory. Prior to launching an attack, iguana would shake her head few times, so accept this sign as green light for stepping on gas pedal ! Then... you better run...
