Marine Iguanas frequently sneeze to expel excess salt near their glands -- it has a tendency to build up! (FUN FACT!) Often, locals hunt iguana to harvest the salt off their faces and then use it to make margaritas for tourists.
Scientists currently classify Marine Iguanas as "threatened." However, those who know marine iguanas best know that they do most of the threatening.
