LIZARDS CAN SWIM


Meet Kupa...She is a four foot long iguana. She is my daughter's pet. When they were here a few weeks ago, she put Kupa in the pool. That was a trip. She immediately swam to the bottom and remained submerged for about 15 minutes. Angela got a little nervous and pulled her to the surface. Kupa was fine. We found out they like to swim and are able to submerge for long periods of time. Kupa is very docile, very intelligent and yes, she even knows the sound of Angela's voice. She eats, banana's, mellon, collard greens but her favorite is frijoles, yes beans either boiled or fried. She also enjoys sunning herself, sleeping on Angela's bed and is very curious about everything around her. I never knew that lizards were so smart, well, live and learn.
