I was walking along a path in the Galapagos when I stumbled quite literally on this fellow. He was relaxing on a shady rock and had no qualms about posing for a picture.

Yes, the land iguanas have some vivid red/yellow/orange coloring. The sea iguanas are a dull black.

I have to check to be 100% sure, but I believe this was from the Island Espanola. I saw the land iguanas on several islands.
