17 year old Brittanee Drexel disappeared from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina while on spring break without her parents consent on April 25 2009. Brittanee’s mother learned where she really was when her boyfriend, John, called her after he abruptly lost phone contact with Brittanee. Over the next few days several calls were made to her phone by her loved ones, although every call failed to yield a response. Her phone last pinged in a swampy area before the reception was lost. Searches were conducted in that area, however only a pair of sunglasses were found. It is unknown if they belong to her. Brittanee was last seen on a surveillance camera leaving the Blue Water Resort to go back to the Bar Harbor Hotel where she was staying about a mile away to return her friend’s shorts. She never made it as far as the street camera that caught her going to the Blue Water Hotel. This indicates that Brittanee made it less than half-way back to her hotel while texting her boyfriend when she was abducted.

These are gifs of marine iguanas. Scientists figure that land-dwelling iguanas from South America must have drifted out to sea millions of years ago on logs or other debris, eventually landing on the Galápagos. From that species emerged marine iguanas, which spread to nearly all the islands of the archipelago.

Each island hosts marine iguanas of unique size, shape and color.They look fierce, but are actually gentle herbivores, surviving exclusively on underwater algae and seaweed. Their short, blunt snouts and small, razor-sharp teeth help them scrape the algae off rocks, and their laterally flattened tails let them move crocodile-like through the water. Their claws are long and sharp for clinging to rocks on shore or underwater in heavy currents.

They have dark gray coloring to better absorb sunlight after their forays into the frigid Galápagos waters. And they even have special glands that clean their blood of extra salt, which they ingest while feeding. (Source)
