I believe the answer is:

iguana

(Other definitions for iguana that I've seen before include "Large lizard of tropical Amercia" , "Something like a monitor" , "Arboreal lizard of S America" , "reptile" , "Large tree-climbing lizard of tropical America" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
