Classification of the Galapagos Islands

All life spread throughout the Archipelago may be divided into three main types of species be they animal or plant life.

The first type are the oldest remaining species such as flightless Cormorants, giant tortoises, land and marine Iguana, fur seal as well as some plant life which are all endemic to the islands meaning that they exist only inside of the islands and nowhere else on planet earth.

The second type are migratory in nature such as frigate birds, Boobies and some types of Mangrove and although newer than the former have still played a large part in developing the ecosystem of the islands.

The final type of plant life such as fruit trees (raspberry and guava) and animal life has been imported through man which has also resulted on the animal side in causing much destruction and imbalances which pose threats to the endemic species, examples have been cattle, pigs, donkeys, rats, dogs and cats.
