Together we'll seek the most exceptional wildlife of Galapagos, the ‘Big 15.’ In fact, the animals across the region are largely unafraid of humans since the Galapagos Islands were undeveloped for millions of years, so you are likely to have up-close and personal interactions with a wide variety of species, including those that are part of the ‘Big 15.’ Regardless of when you travel, you are likely to encounter DUNO Use oe LeU ool Le MENU odo Galapagos giant tortoise The Galapagos giant tortoise is perhaps the most iconic species of Galapagos. Charles Darwin observed the differences in their shell's size and shape and how the tortoise could stretch its neck, or not, a key contribution to his understanding of natural selection. They are the largest living species of tortoise, can live over 100 years, and can weigh over 500 pounds. Nazca Booby Like all boobies, the males court the female by ‘sky-pointing,’ raising his head and pointing his beak to the sky; extending his wings toward his tail, and releasing a long, continuous whistle, as shown above. Like all boobies, the Nazca Booby catches fish by ‘plunge-diving’ into the water from heights up to 100 feet. Santa Fe land iguana This lizard nearly always blends in perfectly with the natural habitat of the arid zone of Santa Fé Island, although they typically have yellow coloring. This stocky iguana can grow to three feet long and 30 pounds.
