Fascinating Nazca Boobies on the Galapagos Islands

Nazca boobies have the funniest facial expressions, don’t you think? (#ad) 🤡 During my trip to the Galápagos Islands aboard @WildAid's Passion yacht, wildlife spotting was a huge focus. Each island in the Galapagos has its own wildlife highlights. 🦜 For instance, on Genovesa — one of the more remote, uninhabited islands, only accessible by cruise — my small group hiked through a Nazca booby colony. Nazca boobies are FASCINATING. ✨ One of the most interesting (and morbid) things I learned about them is that they commit "obligate siblicide" -- as in, when a female booby lays her two eggs only one of them will live because one sibling, usually the older one, will kill the other. 🤭 And it's not just when there is a shortage of food. It's always. Nature is wild! 🌿 A big thanks to @Andando_Tours for sponsoring my trip to the Galapagos! ___ * * * #VisitGalapagos #responsibletravel #Galapagoswildlife #galapagosluxury #galapagoscruise #galapagos #galapagosislands #galapagos_islands #galapagosisland #galapagos🐢
