 | The islands are full of large animals. So full that one tends to over look the smaller ones. Many Lizards are around next to the usual Iguanas. On the picture here to the left, you can see one eating a grasshopper. |

| Some of them are in perfect camouflage for the lava-underground. This first one here stupidly sits on the only white spot of the island however, one of the sticks indicating where tourists can walk. There are also some smaller snakes around, and you can find skins of shedding lizards all over, of not the shedding lizard itself. | |||

| If you are lucky, you can see a centipede. If you are unlucky, you touch it. They are quite poinsonous, and surprisingly large (about 30 cm) | |||
