191. Feral Goats above Hacienda La Tranquila, La Soledad, San Cristóbal, in 2014

Description:
The first known introduction of goats to the islands may have occurred as early as AD 1693. Currently naturalized on three islands and eradicated on another 11, goats are a highly problematic invasive. These feral goats were photographed in 2014 in the highlands above Hacienda La Tranquila, despite declarations that no wild goats were to be found on San Cristóbal.

195. Water Cisterns

Description:
A large in-ground water retention basin background), measuring approximately 16x9 m and constructed of thick volcanic rock and marine sand mortar walls over 1 m wide and 2 to 3 m high, dominates the northern end of the mill area. An opening at the bottom of the deepest corner of the basin transferred water into a smaller and deeper adjoining water reservoir (foreground) with a metal tube drain imbedded in its west wall. The smaller reservoir is located close to the stone wall with a tunneled flue connected to the smokestack.

198. Chatham Island Exports Fine Cattle On The Cobos

Description:
This image of loading cattle on the "Manuel J. Cobos" was taken by Gifford Pinchot in 1929. It is possible that the small stature of Galapagos cattle may have reflected an original founding population of smaller criollo cattle intentionally selected for ease of transport from the mainland.
