Biodiversity:
Other common sites are the white tip shark, Galapagos shark, giant schools of angel fish, Creole fish, jacks, tuna, and occasionally a sail fish,
whale shark and even Humpback Whale. Algae, moss and lichens cover the rugged cliffs of Malpelo which host the 2nd largest Masked Booby colony in
the world, approximately twenty five thousand birds.
The island is often visited by some twelve species of migratory birds, including the Red-billed Tropic bird, Red-footed Booby, Black Noddy and
the great and magnificent Frigate birds. Endemic to the island are one crab species, two starfish, various species of coralline fish, and two reptiles.
From December until May, the northern winds bring with them calm, cold water and clear skies. From May to November the effects are the opposite, being
influenced by the Equatorial countercurrent that brings warmer waters rich in plankton and an abundance of rain.
Climate
The Climate is maritime and wet tropical with high humidity and abundant rainfall. The temperatures average around 28 centigrade all year long.
There are no permanent fresh water reserves on the island, although frequent rains accumulate in and pass through temporary rock pools and springs
throughout the island.
