Download or read book Raising Blue Iguana written by Jordan Thiago and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-12-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cayman Islands in the Caribbean are home to a unique type of iguana called the blue iguana (Cyclura lewisi). It stands out from other iguana species thanks to its one-of-a-kind blue-gray coloring. The blue iguana is described below along with some of its defining features and facts. - As their name suggests, blue iguanas are mostly a bluish-gray tint, though the degree of this coloration varies and can make them appear more gray or green. - Adult blue iguanas can grow to be anywhere between 0.6 and 1.5 meters (about 2 to 5 feet) in length. This makes them one of the longest iguana species. - Their natural habitat is the islands of Grand Cayman and, previously, Little Cayman. They are found in a variety of environments, including arid woodlands, beaches, and rocky shorelines. - Conservation Status: The blue iguana is classed as critically endangered. The fall in blue iguana numbers can be attributed to the eradication of their natural habitat and the introduction of new predators. Breeding programs and habitat protection are two examples of the conservation measures taken to keep this species from going extinct. - Leaves, fruits, flowers, and even certain insects make up the bulk of the blue iguana's diet. What they eat could change depending on what's readily available where they live. - The rainy season is often when blue iguanas have their breeding season and lay their eggs. They often give birth a few months after laying eggs in a burrow or crack. The blue iguana is not only an iconic animal of the Cayman Islands but also an essential focus of conservation efforts to conserve and restore its population. It represents the importance of biodiversity conservation and the need to safeguard threatened species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now published for the first time as a trade paperback with a new introduction and the short story on which it was based. Williams wrote: “This is a play about love in its purest terms.” It is also Williams’s robust and persuasive plea for endurance and resistance in the face of human suffering. The earthy widow Maxine Faulk is proprietress of a rundown hotel at the edge of a Mexican cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean where the defrocked Rev. Shannon, his tour group of ladies from a West Texas women’s college, the self-described New England spinster Hannah Jelkes and her ninety-seven-year-old grandfather, Jonathan Coffin (“the world’s oldest living and practicing poet”), a family of grotesque Nazi vacationers, and an iguana tied by its throat to the veranda, all find themselves assembled for a rainy and turbulent night. This is the first trade paperback edition of The Night of the Iguana and comes with an Introduction by award-winning playwright Doug Wright, the author’s original Foreword, the short story “The Night of the Iguana” which was the germ for the play, plus an essay by noted Tennessee Williams scholar, Kenneth Holditch. “I’m tired of conducting services in praise and worship of a senile delinquent—yeah, that’s what I said, I shouted! All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent and, by God, I will not and cannot continue to conduct services in praise and worship of this…this…this angry, petulant old man.” —The Rev. T. Lawrence Shannon, from The Night of the Iguana
