Iguania is a clade of lizards that includes some of the raddest of them all. Iguanas, yes, but also chameleons, agamids, anoles, and so many others. They have colonized most of the world. So how did they do it? And what is an iguana anyway? Let's find out!

Hey Clint Laidlaw, Why don't you get to think of a suggestion and creating a TH-cam Videos all about the🐠Phylogeny Group Of Ray-Finned Fish🐠on the next Clint's Reptiles on the next Saturday coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍

Not related to the video, but could you maybe make a video about the Trash Panda as a pet animal?
Can you make a video on clade hyenadonta ?
But where is the Tribolonotus gracilis in this list?
A curly tailed lizard saved my life in key west once. There was an enormous cockroach (palmetto bug) on the sidewalk in broad daylight, blocking my path. That roach feared no man, he was the gutter king of that patch of sidewalk, and he knew it. there was no getting past him. Everyone was stepping onto the road in fear. Then, like a knight in shining armor, a curly tailed lizard came out of nowhere and gulped him down even though the roach was like a fourth of his size. We were able to safely pass by on our way and everyone on key west slept a little more soundly that night, knowing we had a hero watching over us all.
😂 I used to catch those palmetto bugs in the mulch at my grandmothers house in Port St.Lucy.
I love the fairytale storybook-esc style in the telling of this story. I read this with mideval flute music playing in my head
palmetto bugs are great!! they smell like cherries and do no harm, it wasn't going to try to kill you at all
Palmetto bugs are not Roaches they’re great diving beetles
@@0x_Proxxy i can imagine it sung in a Rankin-Bass Hobbit style (or Lemmiwinks from South Park).: " This is the story of the curly tailed prince, defender of the road and killer of roaches...curly tail princeeee, curly tail princeee"
“I will never run out of incredible animals to show you guys, I will just eventually run out of life” is an amazing quote 😂😂
Can we all just appreciate Clint’s chameleon eye impression?! That was insane man!
Thank you! I think you're the first person to say anything about it.
@@ClintsReptiles I came here to say the same thing. That's some serious talent!
These phylogeny videos are always so cool.
Sorry to change the subject Clint but I wanted to share a reptile story. My family was at the beach last week and my 4 year old daughter got sand in her eye. We went to wash it out and on the walk back from the bathroom we saw a rattlesnake (I suspect a Northern Pacific Rattlesnake.) It was less than a foot from the walking path. We have a pet hognose snake so my daughters LOVE snakes. I paused and told my 4 year old to hold still and I told her that there was a rattlesnake. She was at a safe distance. She simply smiled and said "it's SO CUTE!" I asked if we should get close to it and try and pet it and she immediately responded correctly that we don't get close to rattlesnakes. But she was never afraid and came back from getting her eyes rinsed out with a big smile and excitement because she got to see a rattlesnake up close but at a safe distance.
I love how your videos have taught my girls and how having a snake has helped them love reptiles.
Parenting for the win!
That's so awesome!
Honestly, Clint is someone I aspire to be and is a true role model. No ego, no greed, just respect and love for his teaching skills, animals, his family and his viewers. In the peak of watching Clint, I was struggling severely with OCD, but his videos were a really great escape for me and helped contribute to a full recovery. He's also the reason why Im now a father of 6 blue death feigning beetles 😂😂. Loved this video, thoroughly enthused by all of it. Which is always the case with this channel's content.
I suffer from OCD 😭 But now you've given me a little more hope
@@QuartetofCrickets149 You can recover bro, it is certainly possible. Exposure and response therapy, bodybuilding and support from my gf and family is what got me there in the end.
His energy takes all of my ADHD and captures it fully to focus on only him which is an insane thing to do! Agreed whole heartedly
I realized I've been watching him non-stop for two weeks now and wasn't subscribed. I fixed that
Slowly becoming the American David Attenborough. Well done sir
That's a huge compliment! Thank you!
20:49 I so appreciate that even in the throwaway comments like "side-blotched lizards, which have 3 different types of males, just for the record" there is so much to learn. I looked it up. Crazy. If you saw it in sci fi you'd roll your eyes at the storyline and yet it is true in nature. Just great, thank you.
"During the breeding season, males display three different throat colors: orange, blue, or yellow. Each color corresponds to a specific mating strategy. Orange-throated males are territorial and defend large areas with multiple females. Blue-throated males are aggressive and take over territories from orange-throated males. Yellow-throated males mimic females and sneakily mate with females in their territories." So sometimes the bad boys get the girls, and sometimes the simps do!
These phylogeny videos are some of my favorite content in all of TH-cam. No one else would make such a in depth but high quality video on such niche topics. Please don’t stop them!
If you love this style of in-depth biology, Travis McEnery is also a great one!
Anyone else just addicted to Clints enthusiasm, its so refreshing seeing a youtuber that is so excited every video
especially the grand rumble literature
It's more than that to me. It's genuine in a way I struggle to explain. At first it was nearly a turn off because it sounded like gee golly let's look at some animals! Which is the type of enthusiasm that like Krusty the Clown has and as soon as the camera is off him, he collapses. But then I realized it's enthusiasm even with the camera off. It's almost like getting to see Krusty off camera with the cigarette in his mouth and he's still laughing
Yes, it’s why I come back. Contagious enthusiasm
Every time he uploads a video, his infectious enthusiasm and passion are the best thing about my day!
Yes
Clint, you just made me realize something. I had a lizard plushie for awhile but had no idea what species it was. Thanks to your video, I now know it's a collared lizard! They are absolutely stunning, and I heard they make good pets. Maybe in the future you could look into them and see if they're the best pet for me?
No wonder why my common chuckwalla and desert iguana liked to hang out together when we were doing education events. I never looked at their the family tree. Thank you Clint! Geez, now I miss them both all over again, they were great ambassadors for their species when I volunteered with the Arizona Herpetological Association about 12-15 years ago.
Agamid August does have a nice ring to it. Could also make Smaugust video. With all the "dragons" out of the agamids. Without actual smaugs tho i guess.
Underrated comment
THAT AGAMID SLIDE SLOW WAS EYE-OPENING
i had no idea such diversity was in one family holy
Actually, the Iguania infraorder is split into five superfamilies: Agamoidea (Chisel-Toothed Lizards), Chamaeleonoidea (Chameleons and Fossil Relatives), Anoloidea (Anoles), Basiliscoidea (Helmeted Lizards, North American Spiny Lizards, Collared Lizards, Leopard Lizards, and Curlytails), and Iguanoidea (Iguanas)
There are a total of eighteen extant families of iguanian lizards, the chisel-toothed lizards (superfamily Agamoidea) are further divided into the families Agamidae (Western Chisel-Toothed Lizards) of Africa, Europe, and some of Asia and Draconidae (Eastern Chisel-Toothed Lizards) of Oceania and a majority of Asia, the chameleons (family Chamaeleonidae) are the sole extant family of the superfamily Chamaeleonoidea, the anoles (superfamily Anoloidea) are split into the families Polychrotidae (Bush Anoles) and Anolidae (True Anoles), the Basiliscoidea superfamily contains the families Leiocephalidae (Curlytails), Crotaphytidae (Collared Lizards and Leopard Lizards), Phrynosomatidae (North American Spiny Lizards), and Basiliscidae (Helmeted Lizards), and the iguanas (superfamily Iguanoidea) are split into the families Cycluridae (Primitive Iguanas), Hoplocercidae (Spiny-Tailed Iguanas), Liolaemidae (South American Swift Iguanas), Uranoscodontidae (Mophead Iguana), Tropiduridae (Lava Iguanas), Iguanidae (True Iguanas), Leiosauridae (Leiosaurs), Brachylophidae (Togian Iguanas), and Opluridae (Malagasy Iguanas)
While being split into eighteen extant families under five superfamilies, iguanians are also split into the parvorders Acrodonta for both chisel-toothed lizards and chamaeleonoids and Pleurodonta for the anoles, basiliscoids, and iguanas.
Agamid August *doot-dooo-di-doo-doo*
Agamid August *doot-doo-di-doot*
Can’t wait for a chameleon video! My panther chameleon, Waldo, is unlike any I’ve ever had. He’s very social and goes to special events with me to talk about animals.
The veiled chameleon at my local zoo is super chill. He gets handled and petted all day long and doesn't get stressed.
29:54 Heh, learned how to do that with my eyes when I was a kid. Clint's the first person I seen do it though.
Thanks for the time stamp. I came back after Clint’s recent post.
Saturdays just aren’t the same without a crash course in phylogeny.
Brave of Clint to get so close to the Chuckwalla... I was legit concerned for his safety!
My man, can you PLEASE do an in-depth video on the taxonomy and biology of terrestrial isopods. It would mean the world to the hobby!
I always get nervous when Clint decides to have highly deadly creatures so close to him while recording. That chuckwalla is nothing to be messed with!
clint, everything that you say needs its own video... definitely needs its own video
I see the question "whats an iguana?" And all I can think about is the mysterious "iguana bits" from fallout. A game in which you never see an iguana. A game in which cannibalism is rampant. An iguana is an unlucky traveler who met the wrong friends.
@LoLotov, iguanas are iguanian lizards that constitute the superfamily Iguanoidea, iguanas are split into nine extant families: Cycluridae (Primitive Iguanas), Hoplocercidae (Spiny-Tailed Iguanas), Liolaemidae (South American Swift Iguanas), Uranoscodontidae (Mophead Iguana), Tropiduridae (Lava Iguanas), Iguanidae (True Iguanas), Leiosauridae (Leiosaurs), Brachylophidae (Tongan Iguanas), and Opluridae (Malagasy Iguanas).
It was Clint’s “crazy eyes” for me.
@27:31, probably the reason we don't have many fossils from Antarctica is because the archipelago which makes up Antarctica is, rather obviously, frozen over.
Pesky ice stopping us doing science 😝
On the plus side, we have more meteorites from Antactica than any other continent. They're a lot easier to spot.
Well, to be fair, when you turn dilophosaurus into a nano-dilophosaurus for no reason, you're already fighting an uphill battle
If the dinosaurs in Jurassic park could change sex due to their frog dna why couldn’t Dilophosaurus develop a grill from some added frill lizard dna?
@matthewlindsley3298 that's fine. It's a frog monster. But why couldn't couldn't it just be the size of dilophosaurus? Imagine if Dr. Grant ever actually saw one of them! He would have been pretty underwhelmed, I think
@matthewlindsley3298 I also really like the idea of dilophosaurus gaining the trait of iced-out gold teeth from some frill lizard DNA! 😂
@@tay-lore Pretty sure the one that ate Nedry was a juvenile one.
I saw my favorite reptile running around today, the five-lined skink.
I'd love it if you did a video about skinks, since most people don't even know what they are. And because they're so cute.
This guy's unrestrained joy and total excitement at getting to share his knowledge is wonderful and radiates happy
I have a question for Clint. If you see this, my GF and I were wondering what your stance is on applying toxins to blades or arrows in fantasy games. Are they poisonous or venomous, assuming that the afflicted party does not consent to being stabbed? Most games use the term 'poison', but we're not so sure that's accurate. Love your content, Clint! Been faithful viewers since the first Dinosaur December!
Damn i was going to give some kind of confident answer but actually thats an incredible question.
Not ingested, so, venomous. If someone were to lick the weapon, and died, the toxin would be a poison as well.
I really, truly NEED to know this.
I would think it would depend on what it was originally made from. If the toxin came from say a poison dart tree frog, it would be poisonous. If it was milked from say a rattlesnake, it would be venomous. Most plants would be poisonous but nettles and the like would be venomous.
Your channel & videos have brought me so much joy & it's wonderful to enjoy learning! I started getting straight Fs(failing) almost every subject in 3rd grade.
I didn't find out until I was 19 I had dyscalculia & ADHD & at 33 ASD & OCD. It's like learning through wonderful people gives me more life ❤
Yes. Please do a whole iguana video. I live in Central America, and I have trouble identifying the difference between all the "iguanas" there are so many, and they are all different.
Hi Clint. You are using rhumb lines instead of great circles for those long voyages. I recommend that you remap it using great circles. You might be surprised
I clicked the tumbs up on this comment, but then I thought ... prevailing winds and ocean currents tend to run east or west rather than along great circles.
@@tulliusexmisc2191 prevailing winds and currents don’t travel in straight lines. They curve in various ways.
@@bubbajenkins123 Perfectly true, but I dont think that's an argument in favour of using straight lines (or great circles, the equivalent in spherical geometry).
You should get some curly tails Clint!!!!! I've been keeping them for about a year and they're amazing!!! They have so much personality and will eat directly out of your hands
Yes, I'd love a video on anoles!! My mom moved to eastern NC and everytime I visit, I see green anoles! They just lounge around near her screen porch and plants and seem to almost ignore humans... completely chill! I used to think they were chameleons just because they changed color until I looked them up! The only lizards I ever see in WNC are the baby five lined skinks with blue tails (and they are most _definitely_ skittish around humans lol). I love these phylogeny videos! 🦎
I get so excited on Fridays to know that another video is coming out that Saturday.
I like the idea of Agamid August, especially since they're some of my favorite lizards and it's my birth month. A match in my book. Also, your chameleon eyes were Really Impressive!! That was rad to watchh.
I was going to say that obviously I'd choose the chameleons for a video until you did that slideshow of the "dragon lizards". Wow! I want to see more. But there are all those amazing chameleon features; they're just not as diverse. To tell the truth, there are so many amazing families in iguania you could spend the rest of the year on them, but please don't since you have so much more to cover. But do do them eventually. They're fascinating.
I’m putting my vote for anoles, that was the reptile I kept for years after having one in my terrarium for high school biology
Clint, you are just so wonderful. Chuck around and find out 😂
I love the agamid, iguanid comparisons
23:10 Is anyone else reminded of Clint’s gharial rant in the phylogeny video about crocodilians?
I'm naming my next reptile, clint. Thanks for this highly informative video. ♥️
The agamidea are my favorite group. Especially the 'dragon' branch (which in my native language are called agame). Looking forward to a video about them.
My favorites are Rankin's dragon, Eastern water dragon and frilled dragon.
A nice thing about them is that they stand and walk at a more upright position. Not belly sliders like many lizards.
I also like their head designs a lot.
And many of them appear to have characters that make them great as pets.
Spiny weapon tailsounds like something taken directly from How To Train Your Dragon 😂❤ That's amazing.
Fantastic video once again! 👍
Yay for this video! All of the deep dive videos seem fun, but I'd love to see the chameleon video sooner than later-- I visited a pet shop in a mall that had a few on display when I was a teenager. Watching them move was fascinating--the feet were so different than anything I've ever seen. I was sad to learn that they don't really make good pets--but they're still fascinating creatures
You get asked about Bearded Dragons being Iguana, because a gross amount of ABC Children's books are "I" for Iguana with an image of a Bearded Dragon. Working in Early Childhood Education, this is a huge pet peeve of mine.
Clint your videos make me feel like a kid again . A good thing. I'm considering getting a garter or corn snake.
Awww that critter determined to explore before getting picked up. Very cute chuckuala
There is always so much relevant information packed into the limited time space of your videos. You teach and explain things in a way that is easily understood and retainable. Thanks for the another awesome video. Respect
Just saw a Mexican plateau horned lizard today while birding, really cool little guys he stayed really still and gave me a cool photo session
29:57 is when Clint does his chameleon eye impression. You're welcome.
Augamid August = best teaser ever?
I’ve been struggling with depression lately and getting caught up on Clint really helped
Rock Iguanas don't get talked about nearly enough. I love how stocky they are. (I've never seen one in life)
I care not what anybody sez,
Common green anoles are the Bestest easy peasy lizard pet ever.
Best first reptile pet ever.
Active in the day, responsive to their keeper. Doesnt hurt if they bite. Changes colors, hardy and cute 💕
I live in Bangkok and often see butterfly lizards sunning themselves on trees. I did think they were iguanas at first, but found out later they're not.
Now we know Clint is also a Brian Regan fan.
I can imagine Clint at his school science fair with a whole diorama of lizards in their habitat, and the kid next to him has coloured balls dangling from a coat hanger, saying "the yellow one is the sun!"
It's a cup, with dirt in it. Cup of dirt!
In my country the collared lizard and leopard lizard are actually called (directly translated) collared iguana and leopard iguana.
the one dragon you didn't name the Komodo dragon.
I've got so many favorites on this channel, but the dinosaur phylogenies are up there, as is the primate phylogeny video.
The amount of times he said “iguana” in quick succession made it stop sounding like a real word
I've been thinking it would be really cool if you had a website that shows the whole phyllogenic tree and you can add the videos you have in the place where they go so it's easier to visualize what animals go where
Love the way he says “one another”
You mentioned me as a large part of the reason you decided to go to the Amazon, as a last push type of thing, so I'm totally going to take a teeny bit of credit for your having learned about the forest dragons 😋
Cool video, man. A brain twister like always. I first learned about agamids as a kid growing up in Japan - we had the arboreal Diploderma polygonatum (Okinawa tree lizard). They were tough as hell to catch because you had to climb into the trees to get after them & if you managed to snag one they had a surprisingly strong bite ready for you. Beautiful lime/neon green & could change to brown. Forgot all about them, but this took me back ❤
Also i grew up loving Agamids and will continue to'do so until my last day. What an awesome taxon.
Actually, the Iguania infraorder is split into five superfamilies: Agamoidea (Chisel-Toothed Lizards), Chamaeleonoidea (Chameleons and Fossil Relatives), Anoloidea (Anoles), Basiliscoidea (Helmeted Lizards, North American Spiny Lizards, Collared Lizards, Leopard Lizards, and Curlytails), and Iguanoidea (Iguanas)

While being split into eighteen extant families under five superfamilies, iguanians are also split into the parvorders Acrodonta for both chisel-toothed lizards and chamaeleonoids and Pleurodonta for the anoles, basiliscoids, and iguanas.
Lizards are my favourite! Awesome video! As someone with a uromastyx ornata I'm really hoping for agamad August.
In my opinion Agamids are probably the coolest
They came in so many different shapes that could resemble other group’s ones and they mostly lack tail autotomy and the few ones that can do it, don’t possess the same “problematic” mechanism as geckos or lacertids
As a floridian, I'd like to see an anole vid
New drinking game: take a shot every time Clint says "Iguana"
Idsi dd ot ,dsoo i gewty a perrize?
Are we not gonna talk about Clint's chameleon eyes?👁
I didn’t know humans could do that, while sober anyways.
@@briant6357 i tell you i can make my eyes VIBRATE, and it still feels easier than doing THAT
Clint is a reptilian, lol!!!
The lizard in the thumbnail is an Oriental Garden Lizard (Calotes Versicolor)(at least I think). An Agamidae
I would love a video on Agamids.
The horned devil is basically a horned lizard…..except even hornier
Agamids are MY personal fave!!!
Can you do a video on the hyrax? Im seeing more and more videos on social media of these animals being kept as pets (mainly in Asia).
I saw Jackie nerdecrafter and you talking about raycon .so I got some, I love them. it's like a movie theater in your ears you don't even have to play them very loud they stay in your ears if you run❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 wow mine last 24 days I use them at least 2 hours a day for walking for sure and when I'm using the counter mixer or washing dishes washing dishes🙌🙌🥰
Hey Clint! Special request from my 5 year old to talk about tardigrades. We love your channel!
Please please give us an episode on iguanas!!
Love the time scale slider; it looks nice
Leopard lizards are awesome, I’ve caught a few down south of price Utah. They look like little T-Rex’s
My favorite basilisk is Roko's basilisk.
わたしは日本人です☺️
カエルや爬虫類が大好きです❤
素敵な動画を見せてくれてありがとう😊
On cold mornings in the Miami area the iguanas fall out of the trees. A few people catch and kill them to eat… most aren’t that fond of iguana soup.
Is it weird for me to say that out of all of Clint's videos covering what animal qualifies as what, this one made the most sense to me before he started getting into detail?
clint you’re so smart👍🏻🦎
10:33 "In the past, it included a whole lot of other groups as well. It was just honestly a garbage bin of pleurodontid lizards."
It gets better. Iguanodon and Hylaeosaurus were originally reconstructed as - more or less - giant semi-erect iguanas. So in a sense Iguanidae didn't just contain pleurodontid lizards, but also the entire Ornithischia. (In a more correct sense it didn't, because Richard Owen had recently coined a new taxon Dinosauria for those two genera and Megalosaurus.)
I only watch these videos to find out who my distant cousins are and it turns out I have alot of them now
please do a video all about chameleons they are my favorite group of animals on this planet
Right?! I love them!

Depends on the biologist.
Every time you say we'll get to that in a future video, I just want to jump into the future to watch the videos 😂 I love this series, learning, and your enthusiasm!
My ear drums now have the word iguana burnt into them😂
Love the videos Clint! Cheers from South Africa 🇿🇦
The word lost all meaning to me after a bit 😂
10:55 that iguana looked like a plastic toy at first 😂
Anoles are such good pets. I miss my anole.
My favorite type of lizard.
Hey Clint Laidlaw, Why don't you get to think of a suggestion and creating a TH-cam Videos all about the🐟Phylogeny Group Of Lobe-Finned Fish🐟on the next Clint's Reptiles on the next Saturday coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
agamidae and chameleons are stinking rad ! All of the iguanidae are, but the acrodontas really can't be beaten
Clint is really making me think I am more related to a soap bottle than my own mom.
You know how he has looked at the Who Would Win books, I have had other animal books that would be fun to watch him review. The series is called, If Extinct Beasts Came to Life. The 4 books that I know of are called Prehistoric Predators, Prehistoric Ancestors of Modern Animals, Prehistoric Sea Beasts, and Prehistoric Giants. Good video by the way.
in South Africa, but further north where i am, in the Kalahari there's a thorny type of lizard called "ou folk" (old folk). Cant recall the english name - but looks a lot like the one you showed, aside from the colour, at the start.
Please talk about chameleons! I already know they are not the right pet reptile for me but I looooooooove them ❤️
I want to learn about the agamids. I've had multiple bearded dragons, and that family has always fascinated me.
If so, please cover Rankin 's Dragon
I demand Araneae family tree breakdown! I have been struggling to understand how Atypidae family is related to other Mygalomorph spiders, and I also want to know more on when did Araneomorh and Megalomorph split. Clint, I need your help!
I guess now I‘ll have to try to look up all the lizards where I live in Peru.
