Look how big this baby is????? That~s the mother behind it!
I have to tell you a bit more about one of the really special galapagos animals..
The BLUE FOOTED BOOBIE BABY!
When we were on Seymour Island...we came across this weird looking wooly, fury, fluffy THING on a rock! Behind it was a bird...that we found out was a Blue Footed Bobbie mother!
No kidding..this baby bird was literally draped across the rock and it quite literally looked Dead. Our firt impression was just that..that there was this pitiful looking bird, overlooking this ball of fluff.
Doesn~t it just look completely flaked out! See the Dad looking on in the background!!
When we asked the guide about this..he said it was a baby bird trying to keep warm from the warmth of the rock!
We looked closer..and that is exactly what it was! It was a baby blue footed boobie bird!
Doesn~t it look so silly - draped there like that!?????
