It’s hard to summarize that week in the Galapagos Islands. All I can say is: ANIMALS EVERYWHERE. I think it’s necessary to point out WHY the animals are so unafraid of humans. The Galapagos Islands are 600 miles away from the mainland, and so NO LAND MAMMALS are there. So they have no natural predators. As a result, they are not afraid of humans, cuz they don’t feel threatened. (Rats, cats, goats and pigs unfortunately were introduced onto the islands, and are wreaking havoc on the ecoysystem). It’s something that they have been trying to get under control for over a decade. The islands are incredibly expensive, but worth every cent. It was so hard to decide which pictures to include.
