Animal that climbs cactuses to eat their flowers (6)

I believe the answer is:

iguana

(Other definitions for iguana that I've seen before include "Large crested lizard" , "Something like a monitor" , "Tropical tree-lizard" , "Large tree-climbing specimen of 5 down in tropical America" , "Creature" .)

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