[00:00.0]Southeast of Hawaii,
[00:02.19]straddling the equator,
[00:04.4]lie the Galapagos Islands
[00:07.0]As on Hawaii,
[00:08.71]some of the volcanoes here are still very active
[00:12.37]The coastline of Isabela - the largest island
[00:16.32]- is covered in volcanic rock
[00:18.46]Here a very different kind of animal can be found in the rocky tubes
[00:23.38]The chicks of Galapagos penguins
[00:26.86]Without the lava tubes,
[00:28.30]they wouldn't survive
[00:30.0]Cool and sheltered,
[00:31.51]the tubes are the perfect nursery,
[00:33.71]protecting the chicks from the unforgiving temperatures outside
[00:37.60]Unforgiving if you're a penguin,that is
[00:40.66]Adult Galapagos penguins only cope by doing something the chicks can't yet do
[00:45.67]They take a dip
[00:47.0]The adults plunge into cool waters
[00:48.86]that have travelled all the way from the Antarctic
[00:51.84]Who says penguins can't fly?
[00:55.21]There's lots of food here,
[00:56.76]as schools of fish are drawn to the shelter of these rocky, volcanic shores
[01:01.61]But while the parents are out fishing,
[01:04.88]their chicks are home alone
[01:08.17]Back in the lava tube,
[01:09.82]there's something creeping around
[01:13.1]A Sally Lightfoot crab has penguin on its mind
[01:16.87]It's dark,
[01:17.99]so the crab can't be sure exactly what it's up against
[01:21.78]This time, it's taken on more than it can handle
[01:25.0]Had the encounter been just a few days earlier,
[01:27.87]the outcome might have been very different
[01:30.14]Crabs are major predators of baby penguins
