Galapagos 2-2-04 Santa Fe Land Iguana  [24 of 33]


As we walked along the trail, Johnny spotted a Santa Fe land iguana. The yellowish animals are over a metre long, with males weighing up to 13kg. These iguanas are the largest in the islands and their golden color is similar to the cactus fruit they eat. The Santa Fe land iguana has more pronounced spines along its back and is a lighter yellowish-orange than the iguanas on other islands.
