Sandy Sea Lion. They took little notice of us.

This poor little pup was very hungry.

Evolution is apparently still happening in the Galapagos,

sometimes with strange results.

Land Iguana. Luckily for us they are vegetarians.

Marine Iguanas. They love to congregate in

We saw many sea turtles, both from the boat

and while snorkeling.

We were fortunate to see this and 4 other tortises

during a walk on Isabela Island.

They do a lot of eating.
