The effect of El Niño weather patterns on wildlife has been documented worldwide for years, but scientists are now uncovering some startling new facts. On the Galapagos Islands, lack of food has caused a colony of marine iguanas to physically shrink. In the hunt for food, these iguanas are forced to venture ashore, and some are beginning to breed with their land-based cousins. [An NHK Production]
