Tiny Ecuador offers wonders of nature
No offense against the Galapagos Islands. Home to giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas and other exotic creatures, the archipelago off Ecuador’s coast ranks for me – and many other travelers – among the top places to visit before I die.
Meet the world’s only salt water lizards, the Marine Iguanas. Amazing images from BBC wildlife show Wild South America.
Iguanas belong to the family of lizards. Like most reptiles, iguanas belong to the cold-blooded animals whose body temperature changes with the temperature of the air or water around it that is why iguanas have excellent capability to survive to the environment.
In order to survive, iguanas have adapted to tackle the rough tropical seas. The sea lions however can’t help teasing them in their death defying hunt for red and green algae. From the BBC
