🦎 Marine Iguana — The Ocean’s Only Sea-Going Lizard
A marine iguana stands tall on volcanic rocks,
its rugged, salt-encrusted skin and powerful claws shaped by life between land and sea.
Found only in the Galápagos Islands, the marine iguana is the world’s only lizard that forages in the ocean, diving into cold waters to graze on algae before returning to the sun-warmed rocks.
