If you want to visit a part of Latin America that tourists frequently forget about, think about taking a vacation to the Galapagos Islands. These beautiful islands offer a wide array of wildlife that makes for an interesting and one-of-a-kind trip. Found in the Pacific Ocean, the Galapagos Islands are a chain of volcanic isles. Vacationing in these amazing islands is a decision you will not regret.
1. You can witness a variety of aquatic creatures in the Galapagos Islands. People who visit these islands often decide to try scuba diving or snorkeling, both of which are fabulous ways to witness many of these underwater species. Balloon fish, hammerhead sharks, many sorts of eels, and sea lions are a selection of the wildlife that people frequently see during their dives. It is also not uncommon to see dolphins while you are on a dive or relaxing on a boat or the beach.
2. One the island chain's most renowned residents is the Galapagos tortoise. People often adore these strange looking, pre-historic animals. As far as classification of the tortoises that live on the Galapagos Islands, all are in the same group, but there are fourteen species. You should know that three of the tortoise species are now extinct, although you can still see the other eleven in the wild. The major differences between all of these species can be seen in the sizes of their shells and the looks of their necks and legs.
3. The Galapagos fur seal resides both on land and on water. Typically, they are fluid and graceful as they move in water, but have a bizarre gait on land. It is important to avoid playing with baby fur seals, even if they are alone. This is due to the fact that female fur seals use their babies' scents to know who they are. If you touch a baby seal, human smells, such as sunblock, perfume, or sweat, may overpower the seal's individual scent. If a mother fur seal cannot smell her baby, she will abandon him or her entirely.
4. The Galapagos Islands are home to marine iguanas, which are the only lizards on earth that reside underwater. There are many of these lizards, so almost every Galapagos tourist gets to witness them. Marine iguanas are usually black in color, but if you happen to visiting the Galapagos Island while they are mating, you might notice that they have incredible red skin. This is the technique the iguanas use to locate an appropriate mate.
While you are in the Galapagos Islands, you might also witness iguanas that live on land and eat prickly pear cacti. Interestingly, these iguanas' tongues are rough, which lets them eat the cacti with the spines still attached.
