The iguana is an amazing exotic animal, belongs to Totemic animals and lives in South America. Interesting facts: In ancient times, the inhabitants of the Maya civilization believed that the world was located inside a giant house, and four iguanas, which the Indians called “Itzam”, played the role of its walls. Each iguana symbolized a certain side of the world and had its own special color. In the sky, the tails of the iguanas converged, thus forming a roof. This Mayan house was called “Itzam-na”.
