What a highly environmental and exotic specimen you have captured on film! You must have had quite a trip to the Galapagos Islands, witnessing these rare and fascinating creatures! Really like how the marine iguana looks so easy-going and relaxed on that piece of drift wood, yet aloof and nonchalant in the presence of a human being. What's also cool is its five-fingered talons, making it almost like a small reptilian person merely sun-bathing. I've heard it said marine iguanas are different from most reptiles because they're the only ones who swim into the ocean to find their meal. You are so lucky to see one!
