Today we spoke about swimming animals.

The children quickly pointed out that Balugas, Dolphins, Sharks and Turtles swim. When I asked if frogs swim, they said yes but when I asked if lizards can swim, they said no.

After looking at exerts from this video they changed their mind.

 

Marine Iguana Facts

1. Marine Iguanas can swim. They swim by wiggling their entire body like a snake. (Ask your kids to show you the dance)

3. Marine iguanas eat seaweed and algea.
4. Marine Iguanas can hold their breath for up to 45 minutes. 
5. Marine Iguanas are only found in the Galapagos Islands.
6. Even though they are the only ‘sea lizard’ Trinidadian iguanas (Iguana Iguana) comfortably swim in the sea.

This is a land iguana that lives in Trinidad. It feeds on flowers, fruit and leaves but if they wanted to they could also swim.

 

Be sure to chat with your kids about the above facts while they colour.
