In the Galápagos Islands, the land iguanas feed mainly on the prickly pear cactus. The cactus here have evolved to grow long trunks to keep the fruits high off the ground, away from any critter who might want to have it as a snack. Every now and then, when the cactus falls to the ground, an iguana gets an easy and delicious meal.
