EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, the Catalina Desert Iguana steals the spotlight with its stunning portrait. With its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, this reptile knows how to make heads turn! Taken on Santa Catalina Island in Loreto Bay National Park, Baja California, Mexico, it's no wonder this image earned second place in Mexicos National Biodiversity Commission's Visions of our Nature competition. This charismatic creature belongs to the squamate family and is known for its unique features. Its Latin name Dipsosaurus catalinensis perfectly captures its desert-dwelling nature. As it poses gracefully amidst a backdrop of succulent plants and cacti, you can't help but admire the harmony between animal and habitat. With protected areas like national parks ensuring their survival, these iguanas continue to thrive in their natural environment. This photo serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts in preserving biodiversity. Claudio Contreras' skillful photography has beautifully captured not only an award-winning moment but also the essence of North America's western landscapes. So let your imagination wander as you gaze upon this extraordinary image – perhaps envisioning yourself exploring the rugged beauty of Santa Catalina Island alongside these magnificent creatures!
