Saltwater spit of sea iguanas perched on a rocky outcrop

An Epic Wildlife Expedition to The Galapagos.

In this video clip, we are treated to the striking footage of Galápagos marine iguanas perched atop a bleak, lava rock formation. The dominant iguana, textured in grays and browns that mimic the rocks around it, stares intently from its elevated position, perhaps keeping watch over its territory. Another smaller iguana can be glimpsed in the background, partially obscured by the rocky landscape. These iguanas are adapted to their harsh environment, as seen by their robust physiques and the scaly skin that helps them absorb heat from the sun.

Marine iguanas are a fascinating subject of study due to their unique ecological adaptations, allowing them to thrive on land and in the sea. These iguanas, found exclusively in the Galápagos, adjust their size and diet based on environmental conditions, showcasing an incredible evolutionary trait known as phenotypic plasticity. Conservation efforts to protect them include habitat preservation and the study of their response to environmental changes, such as rising sea temperatures.
