What if they introduce raptors to the area? That oughta help keep the population in check, no?

You mean native raptors! That's sounds like a good idea like the cane toads! Joking!

"Burrows of iguanas next to seawalls allow erosion and eventual collapse of those seawalls."
That is awful! Wait a minute... why is that seawall there to begin with??? Oh Yeah! Its there because we built our homes there causing erosion and eventual collapse...
Darn those iguanas, if only they were as technologically advanced as we are then they would also be able to build something to compensate for their short sighted ecologically destructive actions!
Despite the way it may sound I am anti PETA Ecowhatever, but with a wife from Gainesville I have to take my shots at UF anyway that I can. I bet you won't see a report like that from them on Alligators... and if they changed their mascot to an Iguana I bet you wouldn't see this article to begin with!
