The Galápagos Marine Iguana is a unique species of lizard found only in the Galápagos Islands. It is the only marine lizard in the world, adapted to life in the ocean. These iguanas can dive up to 30 feet to feed on algae and seaweed, using their strong limbs and flattened tails for swimming. With a distinctive appearance, the marine iguana has a dark, scaly body that can change color based on temperature and environment. They are known for their ability to tolerate saltwater, excreting excess salt through specialized glands. This adaptation allows them to thrive in their harsh, marine habitat.
