Marine Life: The Galapagos is home to the world's only marine iguana and the most northernly living penguin. Coral beds share the same waters as fur seals. The Galapagos is one of the only places where pelagic species such as tunas, manta rays, and hammerhead sharks can be seen close to shore. No other site in the world showcases such a diversity of marine life forms.
