Very few frugs are green, no iguanas at all, and only cartoon alligators. ---

I can’t speak to frugs, but every tree frog in my backyard is a vivid green that would put Kermit to shame, and the bullfrogs I gigged as a kid were also green, even if it was olive drab. My experience with iguanas is limited, but at least some of them are green, as can be seen in [video documentation](https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=JubJub+simpsons+clip+youtube&qs=n&sp=-1&pq=jubjub+simpsons+clip+youtube&sc=1-28&sk=&cvid=11B4D0816D124E7FBC88F81A8ACEE89D&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dJubJub%2bsimpsons%2bclip%2byoutube%26qs%3dn%26form%3dQBRE%26sp%3d-1%26pq%3djubjub%2bsimpsons%2bclip%2byoutube%26sc%3d1-28%26sk%3d%26cvid%3d11B4D0816D124E7FBC88F81A8ACEE89D&view=detail&mmscn=vwrc&mid=F2E95398E0BE7549F9F6F2E95398E0BE7549F9F6&FORM=WRVORC). While it’s true that every alligator I come across IRL is brown or grayish, good authority has it that there is often a green one the sidelines during football games in Gainesville.
