Meet the Trachycephalus subcristatus, also known as the Galapagos land iguana. 🦎 This fascinating creature has recently been reintroduced to Santiago Island, showcasing its resilience and adaptability. With its mouth wide open in this portrait, it seems to be basking in the warm Galapagos sun ☀️. Found near the summit of Volcan La Cumbre, these land iguanas are perfectly suited for life in volcanic landscapes 🌋. Just take a look at their close-up eye and skin - truly mesmerizing. They coexist harmoniously with the stunning Fernandina Volcano, creating an awe-inspiring landscape. These incredible creatures can often be spotted on North Seymour Island, where they proudly pose for portraits 📸. Their burrows on Caldera floor provide them shelter and safety on Cape Douglas of Fernandina Island. Trachycephalus subcristatus is not just about survival; they have a diverse diet too. Here we see one feeding on coastal Portulaca plants 🌿. From the summit of La Cumbre volcano, they enjoy breathtaking views of both land and sea. In a surprising twist, there have even been sightings of hybrids between Trachycephalus subcristatus and Marine iguanas (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) 😮. These unique individuals showcase nature's ability to create new species through evolution. The Galapagos land iguana is truly an extraordinary creature that thrives amidst volcanic landscapes while adding beauty to its surroundings. Let us cherish these remarkable beings that call the Galapagos Islands home.
