Sunset Iguanas

Marine Iguanas (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) - Isabela Island, Ecuador

 

Marine iguanas lay about unconcerned with the possibility of impending rain or the pretty sunset behind them. As adults with no natural predators on land normally these lizards wouldnt have much to fear and could safely sleep in the open at night. However the introduction of dogs and cats to the islands has proven problematic. Both will attack and kill large iguanas that dont have adequate defenses against predators as they didnt evolve with them.
