Remarkable.
I really enjoyed watching this episode and am very thankful that many of these old "Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" episodes are available to watch online (this one I found on YouTube but I've also found them elsewhere). This one was particularly enjoyable at the Cousteau team travels to the Galapagos Islands in search of the Marine Iguana. What makes this creature so unusual is that unlike other Iguanas, it's very much at home under water. In fact, the team did some research and determined that they can slow down their hearts and even stop it temporarily in order to stay under for so long! In addition to this, you'll see lots of adorable sea lions as well as boobies (the birds, that is). Very enjoyable and well made--and a delight like all the other Cousteau shows.
