Feathers of Fury - Galapagos Hawk Takes Iguana Carcass for a Joyride!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this thrilling aerial spectacle captured by Tui De Roy, the Galapagos hawk shows off its impressive hunting skills as it soars through the skies of Punta Espinosa. With wings spread wide and determination in its eyes, this magnificent bird of prey carries an iguana carcass like a prized trophy. As the buzzard glides effortlessly above Fernandina Island, it's hard not to be amazed by nature's circle of life unfolding before our eyes. The hawk's powerful talons firmly grip the lifeless reptile, showcasing both strength and grace in flight. It seems that even in death, this iguana plays a vital role as sustenance for another creature. This extraordinary snapshot serves as a reminder of the incredible biodiversity found within the Galapagos Islands—a true haven for unique species like the Galapagos hawk. These endangered birds are part of an intricate web that keeps these islands alive with their presence. So let us marvel at this moment frozen in time—where predator meets prey amidst breathtaking landscapes. Nature never fails to surprise us with its wonders, and Tui De Roy has masterfully captured one such awe-inspiring scene that leaves us captivated by both beauty and brutality intertwined harmoniously in our natural world.
