The Galápagos sea iguana is the only sea going lizard in the world who feed with seaweed. It can dive more than 30 minutes more than 30 feet deep. His skin color changes from grey to green yellow orange as he reaches his adult size. When he dives, he loses a lot of energy, to recover it he spends most of the time under the sun on the volcanic rocks. Then it is easy to take good pictures. With sneezes he throws out the salt coming from his glands close to his eyes.
