At 600 miles west of Ecuador there are arid islands in Pacific Ocean, which are called Galapagos Islands. These islands are famous for large tortoises weighing hundreds of pounds. But so many people don’t know that other fascinating creatures also live in an undersea realm offshore.
In 1924 William Beebe had written a book about Galapagos “ World’s End” in that he described the contrast between islands and their underwater generosity. He Wrote that host of sally-lightfoots were the most brilliant spots of color above the water in the islands, putting to shame the dull, drab hues of the terrestrial organisms and hinting at the glories of colorful animal life beneath the surface of the sea.
In Galapagos waters four currents converge:
- The Peru or Humboldt to from the south.
- The Equatorial from the West.
- The North Equatorial
- And the fourth is the Panama
The fish and other sea species from different oceans and habitat migrate to these currents and quickly makes themselves at home along the rocky shores, on a sandy sea bottom and in the mangrove forests of the Galapagos.
The most playful creature on the Galapagos Islands is the sea lions. Most of time they are slicing through the water with dazzling speed and sometimes it seems as they are dancing underwater, twisting, turning, stretching and arching their sleek bodies amid clouds of plankton.
