Galapagos Island Food Chain, A: A Who-Eats-What Adventure (Electronic book text)

Welcome to the Galapagos Islands As you follow a path through the black lava rock on one of the islands, you may hear the sea lions barking or the hum of a white-lined sphinx moth flying past your head. The Galapagos Islands are full of life, from a huge tortoise trudging toward a cactus patch to a Galapagos barn owl gliding in the air, ready to snatch up a Santa Fe rice rat. Day and night in the Galapagos Islands, the hunt is on to find food - and to avoid becoming someone else's next meal. All the living things are connected to one another in a food chain, from animal to animal, animal to plant, plant to insect, and insect to animal. What path will you take to follow the food chain through the islands? Will you . . . Go fishing with a blue-footed booby? Snack on some crabs with a Galapagos sea lion? Dive under the reef in search of algae with a marine iguana? Follow all three chains and many more on this who-eats-what adventure
