Galapagos Islands -April 2008



Bob, the Blue-footed Booby

I never considered the meaning of "endemic" until I heard our naturalist guide use it several times a day to describe many of the species found on the Islands. Of course, I can't begin to remember what was and wasn't endemic, but with the exception of Caribbean
Flamingos, the species were all new to me.

I don't think Bob is endemic, but he could use a little more evolution. He needs to learn to "chill-out."
