A six-foot-long iguana seen off the coast of the Galapagos Islands in South America is so big that it has been dubbed, “Godzilla.”
The big reptile was captured on camera in amazing footage. It can be seen eating algae from a rock before swimming to the surface for air. Steve Winkworth, at Cabo Marshall, shot the footage near the Galapagos Island of Isabela.

Marine iguanas are only found on the Galapagos Islands, and they’re the only lizard to forage in the ocean. The iguana can dive 30 feet below the surface of the water.
They have to go up to the surface to get air, while they also have to bask in the sun to warm their bodies.
