Double Trouble - When Lava Lizards Take Iguana Rides!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot, we witness an extraordinary sight straight out of a reptilian amusement park. A mischievous Galapagos lava lizard has decided to hitch a ride on the head of a unsuspecting Marine iguana, creating an unforgettable moment captured by Ross Hoddinott. With its vibrant colors and cheeky expression, the tiny lava lizard seems to be enjoying its elevated position as it perches atop the majestic iguana's head. Perhaps it's seeking a better view or simply trying to impress its fellow lizards with this daring feat! The Marine iguana, on the other hand, appears unfazed by its unusual passenger. Its stoic profile suggests that such encounters might be more common than we think in these biodiverse islands. Maybe they have formed an unlikely friendship or are just tolerating each other for convenience. This incredible photograph showcases not only the unique wildlife found in the Galapagos Islands but also highlights their harmonious coexistence and adaptability. It reminds us that even in nature's most remote corners, unexpected friendships can blossom and bring joy to our hearts. So next time you visit Punta Espinosa or any corner of these enchanting islands, keep your eyes peeled for these entertaining interactions between species – who knows what delightful surprises await!
