Answer 1

Do you mean Iguana?

There are only 3 kingdoms, animals, fingi or plants, did you think it was a plant or like a mushroom?

(OK, some consider there are 5 kingdoms or more now but the others are for the truly tiny stuff like bacteria and protozoa).

Seriously, think about your question.

An iguana has eyes, ears, teeth, genitals, legs,claws, a tongue. Is it likely to fit any other category than animal?

Animal is everything that is not fungus or plant.

Animal kingdom is next divided into chordata - with back bones - and without.

It has a backbone.

It is a reptile - like a lizard, snake, gekko, ......

Does it have leaves or roots,? No.

Does it have to be planted in soil.? No.

Does it grow like a parasite on another living thing? No.

Then it can't be a fungus or a plant.

Iguanas are classified in the animal kingdom because they are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that have specialized tissues and organs. They possess characteristics such as obtaining nutrients through ingestion, the ability to move voluntarily, and reproducing sexually, which are all traits of animals.
