Marine Iguanas are the only marine lizard species in the world found only in the Galápagos Islands. They can dive as deep as 98ft and hold their breath for 30-40 mins. 🌊🦎 It’s believed that they evolved from a common ancestor millions of years ago after arriving on the islands by rafting. #DarwinDay 🎥 💭: @KenzoKiren/IG 🎵: Pharoe Monch - Simon Says | Science Channel

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
