They're found on both sides of the Panama Isthmus, right?

I also read (and seen picture of) how Galapagos Sally lightfeet enter into a semi-symbiotic relationship with the marine iguanas, in that they crawl onto the lizards in order to pick off and eat algae and dead skin.

What's even more gorgeous about these cuties is that they're edible, too.
