Source: http://www.abc.net.au/nature/twoyears/filming2.htm Marine iguanas can't spend very long underwater because they're cold blooded animals. They spend maximum an hour feeding and then they must come out and lie on the rocks like slugs, soaking up the warming rays of the sun before sleeping for the night.
