  • Flightless Cormorant (Phalacrocorax harrisi) and Lava Cactus (Brachycereus nesioticus)<br />
Fernandina Island. Western Isles of Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
These are the largest of the world's 29 cormorant species and the only one that has lost the power of flight. They live very locally to the shores of Isabela and Fernandina Islands and although they can not fly still retain vestigial wings which help them to balance when jumping from rock to rock. As they do not produce much oil to waterproof their wings they must dry out their wings when they return to shore. Nests are constructed of seaweed, flotsam and jetsam and are never more than a few meters from shore. Usually up to 3 eggs are layed.<br />

ENDEMIC TO THE ISLANDS<br />
These are the only true marine lizard in the world. Although not truely social they are highly gregarious, often spending cool nights in tight clusters. As the sun rizes they can be seen sunning themselves on the rocks to heat up before going into the sea to feed. Their black coloration helps them to absorb the sun's energy and to camourflage on the lava rocks.

Isabela Island. Western Isles of Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
These are the largest of the world's 29 cormorant species and the only one that has lost the power of flight. They live very locally to the shores of Isabela and Fernandina Islands and although they can not fly still retain vestigial wings which help them to balance when jumping from rock to rock. As they do not produce much oil to waterproof their wings they must dry out their wings when they return to shore. Nests are constructed of seaweed, flotsam and jetsam and are never more than a few meters from shore. Usually up to 3 eggs are layed.<br />

  • Flightless Cormorants (Phalacrocorax harrisi) & Research.<br />
Researchers are reading data PIT tags which have previously been inserted into the birds. PIT (Passive Integrated Transponder Tag) are small microchips about the size of a grain of rice injected under the skin. Hand held scanners are used to detect the PIT tags. The scanner reads the electro magnetic code & displays the individual number.<br />

  • Land Iguana (Conolophus subcristatus)<br />
Baltra Island<br />
GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
One of two endemic species of these large, yellow lizards found in the islands.  <br />
Conolophus subcristatus lives on six of the islands. (Fernandina, Isabela, Santa Cruz, South Plaza, Baltra and Seymour) They are vegetarian and eat mostly Opuntia cactus. However it has been reported that they will eat carrion if available. <br />
The Land iguanas from Baltra were introduced onto North Seymour Island in the 1930's and then subsequently became extinct on Baltra during the time the island was being used by the USA as a military base. They have been captive bred in the Charlse Darwin Station and re-introduced to Baltra.  The reintroduction in 2008 was the last one as they have now sucessfully established themselves on the island.
