Now I know where the creators of the Alien movies got their inspiration! I am watching a program about the Galapagos islands right now. They are showing the only lizards that are specialized on a marine life, the sea iguana. They live mainly on land but eat mostly green and red Algiers on the bottom of the outside the coast. After ten minutes in the cold water, they have to get back on land since their muscles get stiff when cold. When they swam but to the surface, they looked JUST like the aliens when they are swimming, with their arms, slim body and long tail.
What interesting islands with flourishing life despite the hard living conditions! I would like to go there some day and learn more about what it could teach us when it comes to species, change and evolution.
