Mystry Clue #1: This is a home for many animals.
Mystery Clue #3: The animals that live in here can be a tree's worst enemy.

This is a termite mound. Termite mounds are a common sight in the Bahamas, and thousands of termites live in each of these mound. Iguanas usually lay their eggs underground, but on many parts of Andros, Bahamas there is very little soil so many of the iguanas dug into the bottom of a termite mount to deposit their eggs. Dr. Knapp has found that the iguanas will not use just any old termite mound. He has observed that the female iguanas only lay their eggs inside active termite mounds.
