Photo of the Day: Iguana in the Adam Lister Gallery in Old Town
Find out what this guy was doing there Tuesday.
Check out this incredible creature that spent some time in the Adam Lister Gallery in Old Town Fairfax earlier this week.
Don't worry, it wasn't an escapee - it was all part of the Drawing Zoo workshop the gallery holds once a year for budding artists and students.

The iguana wasn't the only exotic creature on hand for Tuesday's workshop - his friends the tarantula and the albino snake came along for the fun as well.
The Drawing Zoo is a local company that brings animals into classrooms and art studios for unique workshops that combine both science and art. Students get live subjects to draw, and during breaks throughout the workshop, they get to hear all about the animal's physiology and characteristics as well.
