    That looks like a scene from the Galapagos islands. Is that true? If so, can you please give your photos some meaningful titles? Thanks! Posted 12 years ago

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.
