Already one day down in the Galapagos Islands....and it seems we're on a tropical safari! Birds. Iguanas. Sea lions. Lizards. And, boobies everywhere!!!
Leonard being Leonard....again! But he is telling the truth....there are boobies everywhere!!! These are the blue-footed boobie birds....and they take great pride in their fabulous feet! During mating rituals, male birds show off their feet to prospective mates with a high-stepping strut. The bluer the feet, the more attractive the mate.
Blue-footed boobies also use their webbed feet to cover their young and keep them warm. When a typical brood of one to three chicks hatches, both parents feed and care for them.
