What Galapagos animals should you know? Why are the Galapagos Islands so famous? What is it that makes this archipelago so special? These are very common questions for those who have not had the luck to know them. One of the many reasons that the Colón archipelago has been recognized worldwide is due to the great diversity of animal species that they harbor. Their diversity and the way in which they have managed to adapt to their environment are characteristics that have made scientists and tourists from all over the world travel hundreds of kilometers to observe them.
The closeness with which these animal species can be seen (2 meters away) makes the visiting experience unique for tourists, since unlike zoos where they have animals locked up, the Galapagos presents itself as one fully natural and spontaneous. The same that can sometimes be very unpredictable when it comes to knowing it.
Iguanas are one of the Galapagos animals you should know. It is an endemic species of scaly reptile belonging to the Iguanidae family, unique in its genus. Their diet depends almost exclusively on seaweed.
