EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this epic wildlife showdown, two fearsome Hood Island Marine Iguanas engage in a no-holds-barred brawl for dominance. These scaly gladiators, known as Amblyrhynchus cristatus venustissimus, are not your average lizards - they're endangered species with a unique habit of venturing into the sea. Captured by renowned photographers D. Parer & E. Parer-Cook, this breathtaking print showcases the incredible aggression and territorial behavior displayed by these marine iguanas on Espagnola (Hood) Island. As part of Ecuador's world heritage area and national parks system, these islands provide a protected haven for these remarkable creatures. With their crested heads held high and scales glistening under the Pacific Ocean sun, these iguanas prove that size doesn't matter when it comes to defending their turf. Their aquatic lifestyle has even led them to develop an extraordinary taste for marine algae! This image serves as a reminder of the diverse wonders found within nature reserves like Galapagos Islands. So next time you witness an intense argument between friends or colleagues, just remember - it's nothing compared to witnessing two marine iguanas engaged in an all-out battle!
