Marine Iguanas - Jurassic park in Galapagos



I had no idea marine iguanas can read?

They are amazing animals to watch... they seem ancient! The Galapagos Islands are the only place to find them on our planet. They are a subspecies to the land iguana and learned over many generations how to depend on the sea for food instead of the very arid land. They live mainly of algue... and still grow up to 1.5m in length and weigh up to 13kg! And they spìt! They are highly gregarious and huddle together to maintain warmth overnight, very sweet. They also have long chats with Sally Lightfoot crabs....
