What do marine iguanas eat?
What do Galapagos marine iguanas eat? They are herbivores, feeding on a diet of green algae and seaweed. They usually dive for up to one minute at a time, with their heartbeat slowing to half its normal rate to conserve energy in the cold water. 😊👉 Check out our blog to learn more about Marine iguanas! #photography #iguanas #galapagos #galapagosislands #diet #wildlife
