The Marine Iguana

The marine iguana is a remarkable animal that can only be found in the Galapagos. They live on land, but they eat sea algae, so everytime they are hungry, they have to jump into the ocean and find food. They can dive up to 30 feet. Also, they are the only iguanas in the world that can swim. These marine iguanas can only spend about ten minutes under water, and then they have to come to the surface for some air. When they make it back to land, they sneeze out the excess salt from the algae in the ocean.
