 A strong influence on the islands life-style has come from the steady migration of families back and forth to the U.S. mainland, a balance now tipping northward. Many of the shoppers at Plaza Las Americas have lived on the mainland, where they embraced the American way of buying. |

 Carol Barrington - DestinationPh, Seymour Island, Galapagos: Galapagos Land Iguana. (The following information is from Wikipedia:) The Galapagos Land Iguana (Conolophus subcristatus) is a species of lizard in the Iguanidae family. It is one of two species of the genus Conolophus. It is endemic to the Galápagos Islands, primarily the islands of Fernandina, Isabela, Santa Cruz, North Seymour, Hood and South Plaza. The Galapagos Land Iguana varies in morphology and coloration among different island populations. There are two taxonomically distinct forms of Conolophus inhabiting the western part of the islands (C. cristatus and C. pallidus) and one in the central part (C. cristatus). Its generic name, Conolophus, is derived from two Greek words: cono meaning spiny and loph meaning crest, denoting the spiny crests along their backs. Its specific name subcristatus is derived from the Latin words sub meaning lesser and cristatus meaning crested, and refers to the low crest of spines along the animals back which is not as tall as in most iguanids. Charles Darwin described the Galapagos Land Iguana as ugly animals, of a yellowish orange beneath, and of a brownish-red colour above: from their low facial angle they have a singularly stupid appearance. The Galapagos Land Iguana grows to a length of three to five feet with a body weight of up to twenty-five pounds, depending upon which island they are from. Being cold-blooded, they absorb heat from the sun by basking on volcanic rock, and at night sleep in burrows to conserve their body heat. These iguanas also enjoy a symbiotic relationship with birds; the birds remove parasites and ticks, providing relief to the iguanas and food for the birds. Land iguanas are primarily herbivorous; however, some individuals have shown that they are opportunistic carnivores supplementing their diet with insects, centipedes and carrion. Because fresh water is scarce on the islands it inhabits, the Galapagos Land Iguana obtains the majority of its moisture from the prickly-pear cactus |
