Various dogs, cats, and goats also make their homes here, but those that do have been introduced by humans and pose a threat to the natural ecosystems here (UNESCO, 2009).<br>Important Changes<br> Even though many different animals make their homes in the Galpagos, two types are especially notable; the first is the marine iguana. The marine iguana takes to the sea for its victuals, eating various types of seaweed found on exposed rocks or in the frigid depths. No other island inhabitant feeds on this seaweed, making the food source quite abundant. Having once been suited only to survival on land, the iguana developed a specialized set of tools for marine feeding: flattened tails to aid in swimming, longer claws for gripping smooth rocks, short blunt noses for scraping algae, and a special gland connected to the nostrils for filtering excess salt taken in from the water (GCT, 2008, 2).<br> The flightless cormorant is another notable endemic species. Having wings about a third of the size of the other Galpagos cormorants, this bird has no native predators. The flightless cormorant gradually lost the use of its wings because its food sources, fish and small octopi, are plentiful along the shorelines, meaning the wings were not needed for escape or feeding. Rather, the flightless cormorant has developed strong legs and webbed feet to help it push through the water in pursuit of food (UNESCO, 2009). Both the marine iguana and the flightless cormorant display adaptations that make them exceptional at surviving in their environment.<br>Organism Interrelationships<br> The Galpagos giant tortoise is another inhabitant of the islands worth noting. Both scientists and tourists take great interest in this animal because of its numerous roles in the ecology of the islands. Besides other giant tortoises, this animal competes for food with the invasive wild goats brought here by man. The giant tortoise is not at the top of the food chain however; whal ...
