Number 8. Penguins in warm waters?

While most other penguins live near the South Pole, Galápagos Penguins are the only penguins on earth who live along the Equator.
其他大多数的企鹅都生活在南极附近，但加拉帕戈斯企鹅是地球上唯一生活在赤道附近的企鹅。
And they've found creative ways to adapt to their island homes. It's always good to hang with your friends.
它们找到了创造性的方法来适应它们的岛屿家园。和你的朋友一起玩耍总是好的。
Number 7. English naturalist Charles Darwin called Marine Iguanas "disgusting, clumsy lizards."
第7位。英国博物学家查尔斯·达尔文称海鬣蜥为“恶心、笨拙的蜥蜴”。
Despite their looks, these reptiles have a unique adaptation: they're the only iguanas that can swim and forage underwater!
尽管外表丑陋，但这些爬行动物有独特的适应能力：它们是唯一能在水下游泳和觅食的鬣蜥！
Don't worry about their frightening appearance. They pretty much only eat algae.
不要担心它们可怕的外表。它们基本上只以海藻为食。
Number 6. Galápagos Tortoises live longer than any other animal with a backbone! They can live up to 152 years old!
第6位。加拉帕戈斯象龟的寿命，比任何有脊椎的动物都要长！它们可以活到152岁！

不用担心在岛上追它们。加拉帕戈斯象龟每天的休息时间长达16个小时。
Number 5. Like the rest of us on the beach, Galápagos Sea Lions love swimming and sunbathing.
第5位。像我们在海滩上的其他人一样，加拉帕戈斯海狮也喜欢游泳和日光浴。
They might take a dip to catch fish, but these beach bums prefer to hang close to shore. Catch some rays, big fella!
它们可能会潜入水中捕鱼，但这些海滩流浪者更喜欢在靠近海岸的地方闲逛。晒晒太阳吧，大家伙！
Number 4. The Whale Shark is big. Real big. It's the largest shark on the planet! They can weigh up to 40 tons!
第4位。鲸鲨很大。非常大。鲸鲨是地球上最大的鲨鱼！它们的重量可达40吨！

Number 3. Blue-Footed Boobies get their name from, you guessed it, their blue feet.
第3位。蓝脚鲣鸟的名字来源于，你猜对了，就是它们的蓝脚。
In fact, blue feet is a point of pride for these birds. Males with very blue feet are more likely to mate.
事实上，蓝脚是这些鸟的骄傲。脚非常蓝的雄性更容易交配。
But why blue? The feet naturally turn blue as the booby eats more fish. So the better they eat, the bluer the feet!
但为什么是蓝色？当鲣鸟吃更多的鱼时，它们的脚自然会变成蓝色。所以它们吃得越好，脚就越蓝！
Number 2. Sally Lightfoot Crabs are coastal scavengers, eating anything they find on the coastline.

第1位。加拉帕戈斯群岛还有令人惊叹的双髻鲨。
These sharks can swim with hundreds of other sharks in a giant school. I guess you could call them classmates.
这些鲨鱼可以和数百条其他鲨鱼一起在一个巨大的鱼群中游泳。我想你可以称它们为同学。
Hammerhead Sharks are one of the few animals, who can get a tan! That's a good color on you.
双髻鲨是少数几种可以晒黑的动物之一！这个颜色很适合你。
