Birds of the Galapagos (1970)
The Galapagos Islands are home to unique bird species that are not found anywhere else in the world. The islands, formed from volcanic activity, are a rich ecosystem where various birds, such as yellow warblers, blue-footed boobies, and Darwin’s finches, have evolved distinct characteristics based on their environments. The Galapagos serve as a natural laboratory for studying evolution and ecology, showcasing the delicate balance between organisms and their habitats. The islands feature a diverse range of birds, each adapted to their specific island’s conditions, illustrating Charles Darwin’s theories on natural selection.
