The hunt for mythical creatures rarely bears fruitful results. Dragons, on the other hand, are a different story. We might not have spotted them soaring through the skies or rummaging through our banks for gold, but there are signs which make you wonder. In fact, a visit to the Galapagos Islands could turn a skeptic into a believer. The islands’ endemic reptiles – which include marine iguanas and three different species of land iguanas – display a striking resemblance to the legendary creatures which we see depicted across fantasy epics. They have distinctive colors and spikes running down their back. Who knows, maybe they even breathe fire when the humans aren’t watching.
