Thus, the island natives are enormously tolerant of tourists walking around and don't spook easily, as do most wild animals. The islands themselves are pretty well scattered, so even between islands there is little species interaction.ĭespite man's best attempts to introduce predation, guidelines enforced at the Galapagos Islands National Park have kept most of the visitation sites free of outside influence. Yet they reside at a confluence of warm and cold waters that makes for a rich underwater ecosystem, which in turn serves as the engine that drives the above-water ecosystem.īecause of the isolation, most of the animals that did make it to the islands have no natural predators.
