Galapagos island animal

The Galapagos is an island that has a lot of different animals that are similar but different.

The Galapagos is in an archipelago of volcanic islands located in the Pacific. There are many

islands at the galapagos with many different species on different islands. The islands do not look

pretty they are covered with cactus bad smelling flowers and more. There are also the theory of

evolution came to exist from Darwin.

The galapagos land iguana lives on a lot of different islands. The islands are very

different from each other. They also live on a lot of different islands. ​The iguanas are found on

these islands of South Plaza, Isabela, Santa Cruz, Fernandina, Hood, and North Seymour, with

South Plaza. They live on these islands because they can swim but do not get them mixed up.

The land iguana and the marine iguana are not the same. The land iguana lives mostly on land

and the marine iguana lives on the shore and in the water they are different species.

The iguana has a adaptations were it is able to eat the spines of a cactus. The iguanas

have a lot of different adaptations that help them these are some of them. ​The short blunt nose is

well adapted to feeding on algae growing on rocks. The flattened tail is good for swimming

propelling the iguana through the water while its legs hang useless. Iguanas rid themselves of

excess salt consumed along with the algae by a special gland connected to their nostrils

The Galapagos land iguana has different adapted tashan that can help them live and that

are different from the marine iguana. They are also one of the most advanced species of their
kind. The Galapagos land iguana feeds on cacti the island is mostly covered in cacti the island

and some of the flowers that are on the island. The iguana also eats some fruits, moes, flowers,

but the prickly cactus on the island is its main sources of food. The iguana is also very

Vulnerable and are endangered but they are getting help from us and are expected to recover.

These are all the things I researched about my animal. I had to know what adaptations the

iguana head and how it helps them to survive. I also had to find out what food it eats and what

else and how it gets its water. I also had to see if they were endangered and if they were dying

fast but it they are vulnerable but are still threatened. My question is how did they adapted to

there in virement and when did the species split to the land and marine iguana. I also wonder

what other things we do not on of the land iguana and what they can do.
