Hatchling green iguanas (Iguana iguana) emerge from the ground in small groups in a communal nesting area on a small Panamanian islet and engage in complex social interactions. Iguanas from different clutches often join together before and during departure from the nest site. They also usually move around the islet and migrate from it to the larger adjacent landmass in social groups. These and other observations indicate that the sophistication of saurian social organization and neonate behavior has been underestimated.
幼体绿鬣蜥（Iguana iguana）在巴拿马小岛的一个公共筑巢区成群结队地从地下冒出来，并进行复杂的社会互动。来自不同巢穴的鬣蜥在离开巢穴前和离开巢穴时经常聚在一起。它们还经常在小岛上四处移动，并以群体形式从小岛迁移到相邻的较大陆地。这些和其他观察结果表明，蜥蜴类社会组织和幼体行为的复杂性被低估了。
