Are the iguanas of the Galapagos the only marine amphibians? 11/14/05 Hi there, I'd appreciate some feedback for this question: Are the iguanas of the Galapagos the only marine amphibians? I'm confused.... <Apparently... iguanids are reptiles, not amphibians> I read somewhere that there are no such things as 'marine amphibians' coz they drink and breathe through their skins and therefore ocean water would permeate through the skin constantly. <Yes> This seems feasible but is it correct? Thanks Michelle Wales U.K. <Bob Fenner, who has been to the Galapagos... and seen these lizards above and below water> |
