Amblyrhynchus cristatus
Cold-blooded, the marine iguana needs to warm itself in the sun in order to get the energy to dive into the sea for sea weed. A cold iguana is normally black in colour and as it warms up, it's skin turns into hues of green, red and yellow.
Marine iguanas are only found in the Galapagos Islands where they live along the shores
