Ted (A Green Iguana)

Ted is a green iguana who lives near the beach in the small fishing village of San Alejo in Ecuador, South America. He seemed to be in great distress when I ran across him while walking along the beach one morning. I asked him what was wrong and this is the story of what he told me.
