Bite of the Iguana
The upscale island resort of Boca Grande, Florida -- reportedly a favorite getaway of the Bush clan -- has a lizard problem. Scientists say there are more than 12,000 iguanas on the barrier island -- ten of the buggers for every year-round resident. The exotic species (brought from Mexico by sailors, it's thought) is wreaking havoc on the native ecosystem and driving the locals to distraction. My own modest proposal for dealing with this and many other exotics? Simple: Put 'em on the menu.
What d'ya say? Anyone up for iguana burger?

Apparently, residents of the Yucatán Peninsula eat iguanas. They call 'em "Gallina de Palo" (tree chicken).
Tastes just like chicken, too, I'd imagine.
