This guide includes the most detailed descriptions and maps of the main visitor sites of any book in print, so you can see where a boat will land and what can be seen there - enabling you to plan effectively for a rewarding visit. An overview of conservation efforts is also included, as are unique island trail plans for those looking to explore.Written and illustrated by two expert-naturalist guides, who have both been visiting the islands for decades, this new edition covers all the latest information, from the discovery of an 'extinct' tortoise species not seen for over 100 years on Fernandina island and the discovery of new rare 'pink iguanas' on Isabela island's Wolf volcano (the highest point on the Gal疳agos), to the change in taxonomy of 'Darwin's finches' and the new species status of the almost-extinct little vermillion flycatcher. Snorkelling with sea lions, penguins and sharks at Devil's Crown, Floreana is included, as is kayaking in pristine locations such as Espala's Gardiner Bay.Travelling to the Gal疳agos is a rite of passage for serious wildlife enthusiasts. Now with more detailed descriptions, more photos, and updated information on conservation efforts, Bradt's Gal疳agos Wildlife is the perfect companion for this once-in-a-lifetime trip.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Horwell, Pete Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784777471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784777470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bradt Travel Guides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"David Horwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044662604031,"sku":"9781784777470","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_692b1e9a-873e-42bd-8383-8cde62b6441d.jpg?v=1684974151","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/galapagos-wildlife-david-horwell-9781784777470","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
