From the world's biggest tortoises to lizards that feed in the ocean, the Galápagos Islands have no shortage of crazy animals. But there's one species in particular that stands out as the most unlikely of all: the Galápagos penguin. Seeing these birds in the wild has been a lifelong dream of ours, but trust me when I say that's much easier said than done. Today, we embark on perhaps our most challenging mission yet: to find and film these one-of-a-kind penguins in their natural habitat. Get ready for one insane adventure, this is going to be a bumpy ride!
This mission would never have been possible without our good friend Emilio @AnimalEncountersEP , and his exceptional knowledge, extensive local connections, and unmatched passion for wildlife were instrumental in every stage of our visit to the islands. He was literally the backbone of our Galápagos trip, so a huge thank you goes out to him for his guidance and the amazing shots he shared with us. Speaking of amazing shots, we also want to thank our friends Jack and Gage @JacksWorldofWildlife for sharing their footage from this mission with us as well. There's no one else I would have rather shared this adventure with, be sure to check out both of their channels for more incredible wildlife content!
