Talk about a prickly situation! This San Esteban spiny-tailed iguana knows how to take its love for heights to the next level. Meet the daredevil of Isla San Esteban, Mexico - this endemic iguana has mastered the art of climbing tall columnar Cardon cacti like no other! With its sleek and scaly body, this large iguanid fearlessly navigates through the spiky maze of cacti, giving us a vertigo-inducing view from up close. It's as if it's saying, 'Who needs stairs when you have nature's own ladder?' This print by Michael Nolan captures the incredible bond between this agile reptile and its favorite towering green companion. The vibrant hues of the Pacific Ocean in the background add an extra touch of beauty to this unique moment. Don't be fooled by its tough exterior though; behind those sharp spikes lies a creature that is as fascinating as it is elusive. Endemic to Isla San Esteban in the Gulf of California, this spiny-tailed iguana reminds us that there are still hidden gems waiting to be discovered within our vast natural world. So next time you're feeling stuck or need some inspiration, just look at this photo and remember: sometimes all you need is a little bit of determination and some seriously impressive climbing skills!
