Daniel Sella Marianayagam - 7EMarine Iguanas Field Guide

The marine iguana is found exclusively in the Galpagos Islands. They obtain their name because they hunt and live close to water. Marine iguanas are mainly black with some slight variations of red and green. They have short snouts, spiny crowns along the head and back, and flat tails that they use as they swim in the sea. These iguanas feed on algae and seaweed and can dive down to 12 meters in search of food.
