In the Galápagos, marine iguanas serve as prey for predatory birds
In short: This video captures the intense survival dynamics of the Galápagos Islands, where marine iguanas are hunted by predatory birds to provide food for their young.
The Galápagos Islands function as a geological conveyor belt, where western islands rise from the sea to provide new habitats, while eastern islands sink beneath the waves. This unique environment creates a stark cycle of creation and extinction, making the archipelago a living laboratory for observing the diverse wildlife and the constant processes of life and death.
