Iguana, Marine iguana, Lizard, Museum Quality, Hand Painted, Hard Rubber Reptile, Educational, Toy Figure, Diorama Model, Replica, Kids,  4 Inches.  Venture to the volcanic shores of the Galápagos Islands to discover the captivating marine iguana, a unique and striking reptile. While often appearing a charcoal gray or black, this incredible ocean-going lizard undergoes a remarkable color change, particularly during the breeding season. The orange color marine iguana is a magnificent sight, as certain subspecies, especially those on Española Island, transform into vibrant hues of fiery orange, red, and green. This brilliant coloration, which can also include shades of yellow and gray, is a key characteristic of the Galapagos marine iguana and plays a vital role in mate attraction. Known scientifically as Amblyrhynchus cristatus, this fascinating animal is the only lizard in the world that forages for food in the sea. It has evolved extraordinary adaptations to thrive in this dual-habitat existence. Its flattened tail acts as a powerful rudder for swimming, and its blunt snout and sharp teeth are perfect for scraping algae off underwater rocks. To deal with the high salt content from its diet, the sea iguana possesses specialized glands that expel excess salt through its nostrils in a process that looks like a sneeze. This makes the saltwater iguana a true marvel of evolution, demonstrating how a species can adapt to a challenging and unusual environment. The vibrant orange coloration of the Galapagos lava lizard is a stunning reminder of the dynamic life cycles of the archipelago's endemic wildlife.
