"Marine iguanas are living dinosaurs/mini Godzilla’s 🦖 Shot this in the Galapagos, one of the only places in the world you can dive with them as they swim down to depths of 20m to feed on algae on the rocks. It makes for such a unique experience to look up, and see dozens of large lizards swimming down toward you! Only in the #galapagos" ~ @sheltondupreez 📸 | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

The marine iguana is a fascinating species of iguana found ONLY in the Galápagos Islands. It's unique because it's the only lizard species in the world that forages underwater for algae, making it a truly remarkable example of adaptation to its environment. They are known for their black coloration, which helps them absorb heat after swimming in cold ocean waters #padi #paditv #paditravel #divingingalapagos #underwaterphotography #divevolk
