The Waved Albatross (Diamedeidae): The waved albatross is a resident of the Galapagos, and if you make it to the islands from April to December, it can be seen on Isla Santa Cruz. Absolutely graceful in the air, it can be away for months and even years at sea without touching land. Landing and taking off, however, is comical as the birds line up like they might at JFK Airport in New York City, waiting for the control tower to give them the go-ahead. The courtship of this bird is one of a kind - well worth a trip to the Galapagos in October when it generally occurs.

The Cormorant (Phalacrocoracidae): The only flightless cormorant in the world! Over years, it evolved into a great swimmer, losing the capacity to fly. To see this bird, you have to get to the sest side of Isabela. It's well worth the time and trip to see this amazing torpedo in the water.

Marine Iguanas (Iguanidae) : The moment you arrive, you'll be tripping over these creatures. This is the only lizard in the world that lives in the ocean, and the three species seen on the islands are endemic. It's brilliant to see them when they're mating, as their black skin turns bright red when the iguanas want to attract a mate.
