Iguana in St. Thomas

We reached St. Thomas, one of the US Virgin Islands, on 27th January 2008 as our first stop of the cruise trip. There were so much to see in St. Thomas. Shopping was supposed to be a big part of it but we minimized to just about half an hour. Even though we managed to have very little time in shopping, we had only half an hour in the Coral World and were scared by those Iguanas when we first saw them. They were everywhere inside Coral World, stairs, walkways, trees. When they stopped us from walking across and we looked at them, they simply stayed still and looked back. After we read a few signs and learned that they were wild iguanas eating only fruits, leaves, and flowers. It meant that they would not eat us and we were so relieved.
