species are diverse in terms of size, appearance, and habitat. They typically flourish in tropical, warm climates, such as regions of South America and islands in the Caribbean and in the Pacific. Iguanas typically possess dorsal spines across their back, a dewlap on the neck, sharp claws, a long whip-like tail, and a stocky, squat build. Most iguanas are <a href="/wiki/Arboreal_locomotion" title="Arboreal locomotion">arboreal</a>, living in trees, but some species tend to be more <a href="/wiki/Terrestrial_animal" title="Terrestrial animal">terrestrial</a>, which means they prefer the ground. Iguanas are typically <a href="/wiki/Herbivore" title="Herbivore">herbivores</a> and their diets vary based on what plant life is available within their habitat. Iguanas across many species remain <a href="/wiki/Oviparity" title="Oviparity">oviparious</a>, and exhibit little to no <a href="/wiki/Parental_care" title="Parental care">parental care</a> when their eggs hatch. They do, however, display nest-guarding behavior. Like all extant non-avian reptiles, they are <a href="/wiki/Poikilotherm" title="Poikilotherm">poikilothermic</a>, and also rely on regular periods of basking under the sun to <a href="/wiki/Thermoregulation" title="Thermoregulation">thermoregulate</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Distribution">Distribution</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Iguanidae&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Distribution"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>All but one of modern iguana genera are native to the Americas, ranging from the <a href="/wiki/List_of_North_American_deserts" title="List of North American deserts">deserts</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Southwestern_United_States" title="Southwestern United States">Southwestern United States</a> through <a href="/wiki/Mexico" title="Mexico">Mexico</a>, <a href="/wiki/Central_America" title="Central America">Central America</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Caribbean" title="Caribbean">Caribbean</a>, to throughout <a href="/wiki/South_America" title="South America">South America</a> down to northernmost <a href="/wiki/Argentina" title="Argentina">Argentina</a>.
