pygmy three-toed sloth only survives because of the peace and safety offered
by its Caribbean island home, while seabirds like albatross thrive in
predator-free isolation.

Galapagos, marine iguanas have been forced to find food in the ocean, but

deadly racer snakes
. At the end of the Earth, more than 1.5 million penguins appear to have
found their version of paradise on an active, wave-battered volcano. |
