Galapagos: How They Got There
- 1987 ----- color ----- 52 min ----- vhs
- (Produced by Survival Anglia) How did the islands themselves appear on the face of the Pacific Ocean? How did the ancestors of the present Galapagos creatures get to the remote islands in the first place and when did they arrive? Explores the geological origins of the Galapagos Islands while placing them within a geographical context. Examines the strangest and most fascinating animal population on earth emphasizing the similarities, and the differences, between the mainland ancestors and the island species. Looks closely at the giant Galapagos tortoises, the land and marine iguanas, and the birds (especially the finches). Shows how adaptations due to environment have occurred.
