  • We filmed a REAL Godzilla Lizard off the coast of Fernandina in the Galapagos!
    Yes you read that correct, we're talking about giant marine iguanas that have adapted over millions of years to become on the only lizards on earth to explore the ocean. Recently the largest of these lizards was officially designated as the “Godzilla Iguana” with a scientific name of Amblyrhynchus cristatus godzilla - which we filmed off the coast of San Cristobal Island, on land. However, for this video we geared up for the ultimate scuba diving expedition off Fernandina Island to film deep diving marine iguanas underwater!
    BIG NEWS! Brave Wilderness is making our first movie which we filmed in the Galapagos over 9 days of production with our partners Re:Wild.org and La Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco. In celebration of Earth Day 2023 we've included exclusive first looks of the film at the end of this video!

    This video was without a doubt one of the best wildlife videos I’ve seen this year, and probably in a long time before that too. The editing and pacing were top notch, if ever we needed a reminder why you guys are on top, this is it. I can’t wait to see the movie, I adore the concept and the footage looks unbelievable already. Definitely getting me hyped to be in the Galápagos in a few weeks!

    I did the exact same thing at Fernandina. Snorkeling, not scuba, but it was an amazing experience. Marine iguanas, sea lions, even galapagos penguins. It's not this dramatically dangerous experience like that make it out to be but the current is quite strong. Galapagos is one of the most amazing underwater experiences on the planet.

    You had the perfect chance to use the Godzilla theme. Also just remember, there are more than just the new American Godzilla who does look almost identical to this iguana, like, weirdly identical, even their colors look a lot like Godzilla's there are a few more that look like older Godzillas, like the Komodo Dragon, which to me looks like the Godzilla from 1989-1995 during the heisei series.

    Thank you divers for taking the risk to make this video possible. People out there need to be educated on iguanas. These creatures are precious, and everything possible must be done to insure the population of the species. That was one wild ride of a current there. I'm a diver too, and dove w. the black marine iguanas on St. Thomas V.I. @ Lime Tree Beach. Very interesting dinosaur looking iguanas. I was completely ignored while they were busy chomping down grazing on the rocks. They could care less the fact that I was there. When they came out , I sat on the rocks catching my great and one actually came up to me. He didn't talk much, I did all the talking, but he was inquisitive. He let me pet his head and face and even stroke his back ! I was delighted !😃😃 He had a square (ish) head and was quite ugly, but I'm an animal lover, I love every species of animal. They look physically different from the green land iguanas, which I fed every Thursday when my ship pulled into port. (I worked onboard Carnival Cruise Lines).. The land iguanas seemed to know me by facial recognition somehow, they knew I was bringing them treats , (cereal from the ship). One iguana got his head stuck in a cereal box 😂😂😂 , when I took it off he gave me a dirty look 😂😂 . We talked, I explained, "don't stick your head in the box"..😂 The tourists overheard me talking to that iguana, and I got the " strange" look. ..Anyway, I love the creatures of the sea and land. I thought of it as communing w/ little dinosaurs 😍😍😍😍😍. They are precious, intelligent deserve respect and kindness. It costs nothing to be kind to animals, nothing. SO, B kind to them, they are worth your time and effort, they give back much happiness.🤗
