In Galapagos, All that is Fecal Matters

While in the Galapagos, I came to the realization that nature holds no bars when revealing itself to the throngs of tourists that go there.

You see the Galapagos iguana in this pic? If you look closely you'll figure out that it has just defecated. See the mockingbird by the iguana? It has just finished up sucking up the watery stool of the iguana.

Disgusting to some? Yes (all in my tour group moaned a miserable yuck just after the mockingbird did its thing). An act most necessary for the mockingbird's survival? Yes, again.

There's very little water on many of the Galapagos islands, making it vital for the birds to get it from anywhere they can, even from what comes out of the iguana's rear end.
