The marine iguana (''Amblyrhynchus cristatus'') is an iguana found only on the Galápagos Islands that has the ability, unique among modern lizards, to forage in the sea, making it a marine reptile. The iguana can dive over into the water. It has spread to all the islands in the archipelago, and is sometimes called the Galápagos marine iguana. It mainly lives on the rocky Galápagos shore to warm from the comparably cold water, but can also be spotted in marshes and mangrove beaches. ==Subspecies== Listed alphabetically.〔(''Amblyrhynchus cristatus'' ), Reptile Database〕 * ''A. c. albemarlensis'' Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1962 – Isabela Island * ''A. c. cristatus'' Bell, 1825 – Fernandina Island * ''A. c. hassi'' Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1962 – Santa Cruz Island * ''A. c. mertensi'' Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1962 – San Cristóbal and Santiago Islands * ''A. c. nanus'' Garman, 1892 – Genovesa Island * ''A. c. sielmanni'' Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1962 – Pinta Island File:Marine Iguana Isabela Elizabeth Bay.jpg|''A. c. albemarlensis'' File:Marine Iguana (A. c. cristatis), male, Fernandina Island.jpg|''A. c. cristatus'' File:Marine Iguana (A. c. hassi), male, Santa Cruz Island.jpg|''A. c. hassi'' File:Marine Iguana (A. c. mertensi), Santiago Island, Ecuador.jpg|''A. c. mertensi'' File:Marine Iguana (A. c. nanus), male, Genovesa Island.jpg|''A. c. nanus'' File:(Amblyrhynchus cristatus) Galápagos Islands at Tortuga Bay Santa Cruz Island.JPG|Tortuga Bay, (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marine iguana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
