I just spent the last ten days in the Galápagos Islands and it was truly amazing. It was also nice to be disconnected, so here’s a handsome marine iguana.

Baby Galápagos Sea Lion

Description: Young and cute and covered with a light fur, this baby sea lion is curious of all that is around them.

The Galápagos Sea Lion (Zalophus wollebaeki) is not totally endemic to the islands as they can be found...

Juvenile Lava Heron

Description: It sure looks like a lot of other herons I've seen, but I have to admit that Lava Heron (Butorides sundevalli) is a pretty cool name.

It's not made of lava, but it does live amongst the rocky, hardened lava flows.

Hearing @alexskunz in the back of my head after I took many photos of animals in the Galapagos, here is Sesuvium edmonstonei or Galapagos Carpet weed, endemic to the islands.

"The animal is the first Chelonoidis phantasticus to be seen since a male specimen was discovered by the explorer Rollo Beck during an expedition in 1906. The newcomer has been named Fernanda, after the Fernandina Island, a largely unexplored active volcano in the western Galápagos Archipelago that she calls home."
