Presented by Luis Vinueza
Found nowhere else on Earth, Galapagos marine iguanas are the only lizards adapted to live and forage in the ocean. Expedition Leader and marine ecologist Luis Vinueza offers an in-depth look at how these remarkable reptiles evolved, radiated across the islands and adapted to life at the edge of land and sea. Luis explores their unique feeding habits and their striking physical features, like their dark, camouflaging skin, spiky crests and specialized nasal glands that sneeze out excess salt. Learn how marine iguanas are responding to climate change and what threats and conservation efforts are shaping their future.
