Sea iguana sneezing salt in slow-motion shot

Iguana's Adaptive Behavior.

In this video, a Galápagos sea iguana is featured prominently as it expels salt from its nasal glands, a unique adaptation seen in these creatures. The clip is shot in slow motion, accentuating the spray of salt particles and the iguana's methodical blinking and subtle head movements. The background shows a blurred seascape with gentle waves and a hint of green foliage from the coastal environment typical of the iguana's habitat. The rocky surface on which the iguana rests highlights the harsh, volcanic terrain of the Galápagos Islands. This footage offers an intimate look at one of the archipelago's most iconic reptiles.

Galapagos Marine Iguanas exhibit fascinating nesting behaviors and reproductive ecology adapted to their coastal environment. During the breeding season, females excavate nests in sandy or rocky areas near the shoreline, where they lay their eggs in shallow depressions. After laying their eggs, females cover the nest with sand or debris to protect the eggs from predators and environmental disturbances. The incubation period lasts several weeks, with hatchlings emerging from the nest and making their way to the sea shortly after hatching. This nesting behavior plays a crucial role in the reproductive success and population dynamics of marine iguanas in the Galapagos Islands.
