The Iguanidae is a large family of some 860–900 species and nearly 70 genera.
The Iguanidaefamily is most closely related to the families Agamidae of Africa, Asia, and Australia, and the familyChamaeleonidae, mainly of Africa and Madagascar.
Members of the Iguanidaefamily range from squat, toadlike horned lizards (Phrynosoma spp.) that fit in the palm of a hand, to iguanas (Iguana spp.) that are as long as a man is tall, and long-tailed and sleek anoles often seen climbing on a window screen.
