黑鬣蜥（Ctenosaura similis）在中美洲被人类和其他掠食者食用。研究了人脸对黑鬣蜥回避和逃跑行为的重要性，并以接近的人作为刺激。鬣蜥被暴露在一个接近的人要么暴露的脸或脸覆盖着头发。在后一种情况下，鬣蜥收到了一个人的冲突刺激，既接近，但似乎撤退。鬣蜥移动得更早，跑得更早，当接近的人有一个暴露的脸相比，一个被头发隐藏的脸跑得更远。对于暴露在人脸下的鬣蜥来说，逃跑行为之间存在显着的相关性;移动和跑得更早的鬣蜥也跑得更远。然而，鬣蜥暴露于毛发之间的逃生行为没有显着的相关性。
Black iguanas (Ctenosaura similis) are eaten by humans and other predators throughout Central America. The importance of a human face to the avoidance and fleeing behavior of black iguanas was examined using an approaching person as the stimulus. Iguanas were exposed to an approaching person either with an exposed face or with the face covered with hair. In the latter case the iguanas received the conflicting stimuli of a person both approaching, yet appearing to retreat. Iguanas moved earlier, ran earlier, and ran farther when the approaching person had an exposed face compared to a face hidden by hair. For iguanas exposed to a face there were significant correlations between the escape behaviors; iguanas that moved and ran earlier also ran farther. However, for iguanas exposed to the hair there were no significant correlations among escape behaviors.
