The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) has recorded more than 500 invasive or non-native species in the state, including
tegu lizards from South America that eat rodents, Cuban tree frogs that prey on smaller species of amphibians and green iguanas that feast on native plants.
These included stone or stones, earth or soil (awu), water (ae), fire (api), wind (wa, angi wa), the sun (mata leza), the moon (wula), stars (dala including dala co, 'flying stars', that is, shooting stars), thunder (
tegu), and lightning (sile bhela).
In captivity they have been known to eat everything from rodents to insects, veggies, fruit, canned
tegu diet, pelleted
tegu diet and even dry dog food.
