When visiting the Galapagos, we saw many bird species, land mammals, and marine life that are completely unique to the islands. Because of the remoteness of the islands, these animals have adapted perfectly to their environments.
There are more than 200 species of animals in the Galapagos islands with most being different species of birds, followed by reptiles, marine life, and finally mammals.
The journey the animals had to endure over open waters to get to the islands, explains the lack of actual mammals on the islands. Out of the 200+ animal species,
only 32 species of animals of the Galapagos are mammals.
