While the term 'lizard' refers to the quadriped (except glass lizards) animals of the order Reptilia most closely related to snakes, iguana refers to a small, specific genus of somewhat large, mostly tropical lizards characterized by their large "beards" and dorsal spines. Also, lizards are not to be confused with crocodilians, which are entirely different.

Well, lizard is a generic term for all lizards, and an iguana is a specific kind of lizard.
Don't know why you are asking, but I'm 23 and live in the US, in Georgia.

I think an iguana is a lizard. There are all kinds of lizards with different names. Gecko is another one. There are more, I'm just sitting at home sick and can't think as well as usual right now or I'd give you more examples. (-:

An iguana is a lizard, but not all lizards are iguana's. 36, USA, Minneapolis (size has nothing to do with it. Komoto dragons are the largest living lizards, gecko's are fairly small lizards, Iguana's are in between)

An Iguana is a form of lizard. It is a specific name of a species of lizard, where a lizard is a wide range of species from the repitle group. I have been a while out of high school biology and don't remember what all classifications there are, but....

I think the difference is that lizards are a group and Iguana is one particular species of that group. For instance, the difference between dog and poodle.

There is no difference. An iguana is merely a species (or group of species, if you count rhino iguanas etc...) of lizard. Plain as that. (20, Illinois, USA)
