At Urbina Bay we met the Marine Iguana. Again, only found in the Galápagos, brother to the Land Iguana. Pretty much laying all over, and so tame you could walk up to one and pet it, but be careful, it might spit on you. It has a desalinization gland, and spits a lot to get rid of the sea salt in its body. Also you had to be very careful not to accidentally step on one, because they blended in so well with the lava rock. In the top picture there are about 30-35 marine iguanas on the rocks in the background. Double click the pic.
