The amazing world of animals
This Galápagos marine iguana has attracted
a hitchhiker in the form of a lava lizard, who is
hoping to share some of the sunshine

is not its offspring, but a tropidurid lizard. Six of the tropidurid lizard

the sunshine and remain inactive to heat up their cold-blooded bodies.
