GALAPAGOS WILDLIFE


I discovered early on here in Ecuador that you don't have to look very hard to find interesting wildlife, and it's even easier in the Galapagos Islands. Here are a few pictures of some of the creatures I've stumbled across. The orange and yellow land iguana in the bottom left was in a little wildlife reserve, but bright red crabs like the one in the middle picture are all over the rocks along the water, and the marine iguanas are everywhere too. The marine iguanas are cool. They totally blend in with the volcanic rocks that they hang out on, but you can also see them on the beach, and even lying sprawled out on the docks in town. They like to hang out in big groups, all lying on each other, facing the same direction, and pointing their little faces up towards the sky.
