The sun-dried corpse of a marine iguana stretched out on a lava rock with its stomach eaten out by some creature.

Another Circle of Life choice for my #WeekKForKaput post this morning. I find the teeth particularly freaky. #MarineIguana #AlphabetChallenge #photography #ECK

An open eye among bumpy scales.

Going to throw out another #BNWmacro. That time I encountered the eye of the dragon. (Okay, it was a #MarineIguana. But still.) #lizard #WildlifePhotography #ECK

Marine iguanas are found nowhere else on Earth.

On the Galápagos Islands, they gather along the volcanic shoreline, basking in the sun after feeding on algae in the cold Pacific waters.

A guano-covered lava outcropping in the waters around the Galapagos Islands. A blue-footed booby and a pelican chilling out together.

Further down the same perception is a forlorn-looking booby and a marine iguana considering one another. Will these two pair up as well?

In the Galapagos, we came upon a blue-footed booby hanging out with a #pelican. A little ways down the outcropping was what I suspect was the other booby's original partner, now keeping company with a #marineiguana and questioning his life choices. #marinelife #galapagos #booby
