SO MANY marine iguanas!!!
friendly sea lions on the beach
Of course there were sally lightfoots!
A velvet crab hiding in the rocks.
My first sighting of a Galapagos hawk!
Cacti growing right out of the lava! And whale bones.
I saw hundreds of tiny (less than 1" fiddler crabs from a bridge we were walking across.
They reminded me of ants that I had seen ferrying leaves in Costa Rica, but when I looked in the camera, they had claws. One claw is very large, the other much smaller, and thus their name "fiddler crab".
