Wild Galapagos

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, around 1000 km to the west of South America, there is a group of volcanic islands. The Galapagos Archipelago. The islands are considered the cradle of evolution. Nowhere else you could find such a rare variety of animals, including diving iguanas, giant tortoises with snake-like necks, and albatrosses which you normally expect on the open ocean.

The Galapagos Islands are home to some animals that first arrived millions of years ago. Penguins iguanas tortoises and cormorants have adapted to survive the harsh climate but possibly the oddest adaptation is that of the "blood-sucking" Vampire Finch.
