My parents managed to get some amazing shots during their visit.


I'm not able to identify these quite as well as the birds in this previous post but they were just too cool not to share!

Are those poisonous?

As far as I know these aren't poisonous. I really don't know a whole lot about them.
Though I remember hearing of some large lizards like this passing on bacteria in their mouth when biting.

reptiles are more common spreading salmonella.

Yuck, but sounds about right lol 🤙

Those lizards are really big. I hope they are not dangerous. They kinda gimme chills a little.
Good pics. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I've never been to the Galapagos Island, but these creatures look way cool.

Great shots, it's great that you could see them in their native habitat!

hey @sykochia I have been doing these photocontests lately. I'm really enjoying them and it really helps with the steemit learning curve for me. I need a new camera though lol

A year or so ago I've watched a documentary about Galapagos (I think it was on Netflix). I was mesmerized by the Galapagos' fauna!

Its really scary shape it does not exist in my country
Something really strange

so here is the deal @sykochica . If you are ever looking for me you won't have to bother looking for me in the land of the giant lizards. Start your search anywhere but there. No way, no how am I going to a place with these things lol!!!

Interesting. Your parents are good at taking pictures.
