Definitely NOT an iguana, either an alligator or crocodile for sure. You can even see the size in that viedo, wayyy bigger than an iguana and all the features don't match with any iguanas.
Don't think it is either one of those. The rhino iguana seems more likely except if they don't have two rows of spines.

Yes, but two rows of spines? The pic of the lizard? in question has two rows.
I don't think it's an alligator.
Me neither. It's up for grabs as to what kind of lizard..

There are more than 2 rows on the back.

No arguments with anyone's actual science....just my impressions

After looking at the vid, it is supple in the way it moves, like a running snakehead fish......

I had a little 3-4 ft Spec Caiman for a couple years & he did not run like that, pushed off the ground completely and was not so fluid in motion....
