They usually dive for up to one minute at a time, with their heartbeat slowing to half its normal rate to conserve energy in the cold water. 😊👉 Check out our blog to learn more about Marine iguanas! #photography #iguanas #galapagos #galapagosislands #diet #wildlife

They live only on the Galapagos Islands, and like many Galapagos species, they have adapted to an island lifestyle. Populations across the archipelago have been isolated from each other for so long that each island has its own subspecies.
