Mascot The mascot of the Bogotá 2009 Youth Parapan American Games was an iguana. According to the organizing committee, "the iguana serves as a symbol for people with disabilities because they can supply their limitations, developing skills and aptitudes according to the environment in which they find themselves and taking their abilities beyond their limits. ... The iguana is part of our Parapanamerican culture."
