Answer 1

hope this helps marine files
Marine Iguanas are between 50 and 100 cms (20 - 39 inches) in length and they weigh up to (22 lbs), although there is a vast size difference between the iguanas from different islands. The largest Marine Iguanas are found on Fernandina and Isabela Islands where as the smallest Marine Iguanas are found on Genovesa Island.

They are black or grey in colour but during the breeding season adult males develop red and green colouration and young Marine Iguanas have a lighter coloured dorsal stripe.

They have triangular shaped dorsal scales and a long tail that they use to propel them through the water while swimming. They are often encrusted in a white substance which is mainly excess salt that has been excreted from their nasal glands.
