Episode 118: Marine Iguanas from the Galapagos Isles

This week we jump to the one of the more unique biomes on earth, the Galapagos Islands. There, lives the world’s only marine living lizard. They are absolutely unique on how they live alongside and survive in the ocean. The Galapagos hosts some incredibly unique creatures and the Marine Iguana is our first foray there.
