Marine Iguana
Thank you! Thank you for choosing me as one of the candidates (sniffle, sniffle). That's such an unexpected honor (sniffle)! Nobody EVER told me that I was cute in my whole life. I know my skin is a little bumpy, my body shape is no longer in fashion and I might look a little mean, but I'm really peace-loving at heart. (Except when another male iguana tries to get into my territory. But that's understandable, right?) I'm also a natural-born poet. My latest work is called "Sunshine and Seaweed". And, I'm the only seagoing lizard in the world, which I put proudly on my resume. But I think I look the coolest when I snort little clouds of salt spray into the air. I feel like a dragon then. Thank you!
