  • Lava heron (Butorides sundevalli) & Sally lightfoot crabs (Grapsus grapsus)<br />
Puerto Egas, Santiago Island, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
ENDEMIC TO THE ISLANDS<br />
These herons feed in the characteristic fashion of a 'sit and wait' predator. They eat small crustaceans like Sally lightfoot crabs. They lay one egg in a rocky crevice or in mangrove strands.<br />
Sally Lightfoot crabs are the scavengers of the coast. They feed on anything from sealion placenta to other crustaceans. They play an important role in keeping the shores clear of organic detritus.<br />

  • Marine Iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) & Sally lightfoot crabs (Grapsus grapsus)<br />
Fernandina Island, Galapagos Islands<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<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.
