EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene moment of a Marine iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) as it rests on a rocky surface in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Endemic to this unique archipelago, these marine iguanas possess an extraordinary ability among lizards – they can live and forage in the sea. The image showcases the lizard's fascinating adaptation to its environment. The reptile's dark coloration allows it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, while its body language exudes tranquility. With eyes closed and limbs sprawled comfortably, this creature appears completely at ease in its natural habitat. Its stillness contrasts beautifully against the rugged backdrop of rocks and crashing waves. As we admire this remarkable specimen, we are reminded of the rich biodiversity found within South America's tropical paradise. This single marine iguana basking under the warm sun symbolizes both resilience and harmony with nature. Photographed by DR P. MARAZZI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning image not only showcases the beauty of wildlife but also highlights important biological research conducted in Ecuadorian waters. It serves as a testament to our ongoing fascination with herpetology and underscores how crucial it is to protect these delicate ecosystems for future generations.
