The Chilean tree iguana, ''Liolaemus chiliensis'', is a species of lizard in the Iguanidae family. It is endemic to Chile and southwestern Neuquen Province, Argentina. It occurs in open forests and ecotonal scrublands or scrub-steppes, chiefly in the Chilean Matorral ecoregion.〔C. Michael Hogan & World Wildlife Fund. 2013. (Chilean matorral. ed. M.McGinley. Encyclopedia of Earth. National Council for Science and the Environment ). Washington DC〕 ==Description== The Chilean tree iguana is a relatively large-sized lizard, reaching 25 cm (9.8 in) in total length. It is an oviparous species, and feeds mainly of insects and other invertebrates.〔http://www.atlasherpetozoos.cl/Reptiles/LChiliensis.html〕 This species is sometimes kept as a pet,〔 〕 although such a practise violates conservation biology principles, since this species has such a limited range, and is thus vulnerable to habitat disruption and population declines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liolaemus chiliensis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
