Genovesa Island is located just north of the equator and is the furthest northern point of the Galapagos.
This island is similar in age to Bartolome, about a million years old. Still this makes it a young volcanic island. It is remote from the other islands which changed the behaviour of animals.
One such animal is the owl. Generally nocturnal, here the owl hunts during the day. This is because there aren’t other hunters during the day, so they have free reign on the smaller prey.
We were really thrilled to see the owl in a cavern as we stepped off the boat. And then after our amusement, we were distracted by a very small marine iguana. Zing the iguana dipped into the cavern. Breakfast in bed for the owl.
