Fun Fact: The male magnificent frigate bird mates every year whereas the female mates every two years since it has to take care of the chicks.

PWH's @weisbergm & a team of @Penn students spent time in the Galápagos this summer w/ @GalapagosERA, a community science & education initiative. As part of one project, they taught local children to dive, so they can study how human settlements affect the marine environment 🌊

Prof. Michael Weisberg and @VillanovaU's Deena Skolnick Weisberg met with @EmbajadaEcuUSA yesterday to discuss the work of @GalapagosERA, the community science and education project they co-lead in the Galápagos Islands. @Penn @perryworldhouse @weisbergm https://t.co/44SM64iS11

Observing sea lion behaviors sounds exciting! But lots of the time it is just watching sea lions take a nap. These sea lions are snoozing on Playa de Oro, one of the four beaches where LAVA-Lobos researchers collect data.

[Galapagos Alliance @GalapagosERA]

¡Observar el comportamiento de los lobos marinos suena emocionante! Pero muchas veces se trata simplemente de ver a los lobos marinos tomar una siesta. Estos leones marinos duermen en Playa de Oro, una de las cuatro playas donde los investigadores de LAVA-lobos recopilan datos.

¿Sabías que las tortugas de Galápagos pueden sobrevivir hasta un año sin comer ni beber? Esto se debe a que tienen un metabolismo muy lento y la capacidad de almacenar grandes cantidades de agua.

[Galapagos Alliance @GalapagosERA]

Did you know that #Galápagos tortoises can survive up to a year without eating or drinking? This is because they have a very slow metabolism and the ability to store large amounts of water.

Los #lobos marinos en las #Galápagos típicamente se ven #nadando cerca de la costa o #durmiendo en una playa cercana. ¿Sabías que los #cachorros de lobos marinos dependen completamente de que su madre les lleve comida hasta que tengan alrededor de cinco semanas? #naturaleza

[Galapagos Alliance @GalapagosERA]

Sea lions on the #Galápagos are often seen either #swimming close to shore or #napping on a nearby #beach. Did you know that #sea lion pups fully depend on their mother to bring them food until they’re around five weeks old? After that they begin to feed inshore. #nature #science
