Conolophus subcristatus
On the 1st main pic, there is a lava lizard perched above the dark red patch above the iguana's skin. On the video clip when the iguana moves to rest his head on a big rock, a lava lizard has to run for cover when the big iguana approaches.
Charles Darwin Research Center, where they have 3 Galapagos Land Iguanas as part of their captive breeding center.

Thank you noodlebananas and Reza!
Awesome !
Omg little scaly cutie!
The Land Iguana is 1 m in length and 13 kg in weight.
Wow! Stunning! How big is?
Haha I didn't even notice the Lava Lizard in the video the first time until I read your notes. Must be tough being so small!
2 for 1 - just noticed a lava lizard on the rock above the iguana's mid-section.
Me too! The Galapagos is home to the most wonderful animals!
Definitely agree, noodlebananas! Love 'em.
Such a wonderful creature :)
