Man, I'm watching this special on the wildlife in the Galapagos on
the National Geographic channel.

These animals are just AMAZING.

These iguanas swim, and can hold their breath underwater for extended periods of time. Their body temperatures can get at least as low as 63 degrees F, and still get out to soak up the sunlight and survive. And they EAT ALGAE!!

And they get along with the seals, apparently. And they SNEEZE SALT OUT OF THEIR SNOUTS!!! All kinds of saltwater builds up in their bodies, but they concentrate it in their noses and just sneeze it out!

This stuff is unbelievable.
