Amazing animals of the Galapagos

The animals of the Galapagos have no fear of the tourists.  These little sea lions acted like they wanted us to pet them and got very close.
The guides cautioned us NOT to touch them.  Their mothers recognize their little ones by their distinctive smells and adding some 'tourist scent' would only confuse them.  They just look so lovable and cuddly it was very tempting!

Some of the animals are not so cuddly looking....more like prehistoric monsters.

A marine iguana
A land iguana
And some really wildly colored Sally Lightfoot Crabs!
