Features: The six-spined iguana is covered in scales, with a row of spines on its back. When encountering predators, it can detach its tail to escape. In its free time, it likes to bask quietly on rocks. Frogs are typical amphibians and are skilled at catching pests. Male frogs have a pair of vocal sacs on both sides of their mouths, which can produce loud calls. Frogs have tails when they are young, which gradually disappear as they grow. The land turtle has a high and majestic shell, strong legs, and sturdy claws. When facing strong enemies, it can retract its head and feet into its shell. Land turtles are oviparous animals with a long lifespan. They can survive even in the absence of food.
