Color more associated with breeding season. Very well-adapted creatures. Remind of little dinosaurs.

This looks like a festive Christmas Iguana to me...and they have a certain timeless, they being almost timeless themselves in fact, practical beauty to them.
Nice shot to me.

PS I presume the red is because it is molting?

It's a marine iguana. They're usually about 2-3 feet long and absolutely no threat to humans. This color scheme is unique to one island.

Ugly is right! I'm trying to get a scale on how big this guy is, he looks huge. Paul
