An Iguana and His Barber

Species: Marine Iguana and Darwin Finch | Location: Galapagos Islands National Park, Ecuador

By Robert Pritchard

While sitting on the beach of Tortuga Bay, we watched a Darwin Finch skip around the feet of this Marine Iguana. Eventually he summoned the courage and flew atop his head, plucking dead skin away from the iguana.
