    Welcome to JungleDragon, TristanV! I want to compliment you on how you shared this shot. Not only is the photo great, you also identified the species, and provided a proper description and tags. That's how to do it, an example to others.

    And it gets even better when you geotag it, and it turns out you geotagged the first photo on the Galapagos islands!

The Marine iguana

The marine iguana is an iguana located only on the Galápagos Islands that has the ability, unique among modern lizards, to live and forage in the sea, making it a marine reptile. The iguana can dive over 30 ft into the water. It has spread to all the islands in the archipelago, and is sometimes called the Galápagos marine iguana. It mainly lives on the rocky Galápagos shore, but can also be spotted in marshes and mangrove beaches.
