The Marine Lizard (Thoughts and Opinions)

OOOHH WWWOOOWW.

My Question: How did this iguana adapt to being underwater as opposed to the iguanas that live on land and in extremely dry environments?
Thoughts and opinions: I think that this iguana had developed the ability to be submerged underwater for various length of time because of its diet of seaweed and algae. ( It must have been available to the iguanas ancestors and then as the water level rose it had to go completely into the water to reach its food.) maybe.  who knows.

    I like your question and ideas. It is an interesting case of one type of iguana adapting to survive in a very different aquatic environment. Looking forward to reading about how this happened!
