what a nice smile.

a very happy iguana?

With apologies to the iguana, it looks uncannily like John McCain.

Only if you put lipstick on it. ;)

That smile is because he's wondering if you taste good.

What a great shot. I really hope to go there sometime.

more like he's eyeing my salad.

these guys are strict vegetarians, IIRC.

They dive in shallow water to feed on algae.

Not McCain. Does this lizard look scared?

Isn't that a bit unfair? The iguana is much better looking.

Danio - Did all hell just break loose on your end of the state with wind & rain? It's suddenly ugly here.

That huge lizard has a look on it's face like my Bulldog. Pleased about something. ;o)

A face for radio, in my opinion.

I believe Captain James T. Kirk once fought one of these.

Aaaawwww! Cute!

Isn't that the type they used as cut rate dinosaurs in old adventure flicks? They'd past a big fin on their back and film them in Up-Close-O-Vision while offscreen a stagehand pokes it with a plastic stegosaurus.

Iguana is also one helluva lot younger and smarter.
That one peeping at you in the bottom right corner, on the other hand . . .

Great ad for the benefits of eating seaweed.

A touch of lip-gloss would help, though.

Thank you for posting this, PZ. It made my day, though I am probably anthropomorphizing on some level. :)

JEBUS! PEEZED!

Put some damn shorts on, you old pig!

Evidently, the Galapagos is not immune to the global obesity epidemic.

Very nice.

Nice picture. It's now my desktop!

That's the third-ugliest cat I've ever seen.

Thank your for posting that picture. Amblyrhynchus cristatus was the first scientific name that I learned at the tender age of 6 or 7 years old.
