This morning we took the gang over to the aquarium. We like wandering around the grounds there more than we like the actual aquarium. While we were standing around looking at the crocodiles we heard a loud thump. We turned to see a huge orange iguana had fallen out of a tree and crash landed in the crocodile cage. It must have been a good thirty foot drop and he looked stunned. Unfortunately the crocodiles are so accustomed to being hand fed that they didn’t even glance over at the iguana. While watching a crocodile and iguana fight would have been cool I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if that big ass lizard fell on top of one of the kids from that high up. From now on the kids have to wear helmets to the aquarium.

Whoa on the falling lizard (love the shots you got). I was just thinking helmets for the kids the other day when I saw a coconut fall from a nearby palm tree. I mean, the stats on coconut deaths/injuries have to be up there, right?
Amazing photos! Especially love the iguana. Ali sure does look like her mom — they could be sisters!
