When hippos aren’t grazing on land at night they like to forage in rivers where their specific gravity enables them to walk or run on the bottom as easily as on land. They can stay under water up to 30 minutes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1508260792099-VN2K510IGQ6NQZRE5KPV/tripadvisor.jpg Moremi Wildlife Reserve https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/the-creatures daily 0.75 2017-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481910487435-GRZQ16GRW4U31NRC6RY5/11.jpg The Creatures - Hippo Size is an advantage to three-ton grass-eaters like the hippo. Their enormous digestive system can hold food longer to extract nutrients. When they aren't grazing on land at night, they forage under water where their specific gravity enables them to walk or run on the bottom as easily as on land.

Sensory pits along lips can detect presence of either cold- or warm-blooded prey such as a lizard or small bird. Leathery eggs are incubated about 47 days. Young hatch in brilliant mixed tropical colors, from yellow to brick-red. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481911349187-YRHVIE0VNHR0U1864T17/23.jpg The Creatures - Polar Bear Polar bear So well insulated are polar bears by fur and thick blubber that a photograph using heat-sensitive film showed nothing but a puff of air, like smoke, from the bear’s exhaled beath. Their range is circumpolar, from Norway to Russia, to Alaska, Canada and Greenland. Most have a home territory of a few hundred miles, but they trek widely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481911362926-XIBAPQSDFRL42RETYFZX/112.jpg The Creatures - Frigatebird Frigatebirds are unmistakable among seabirds, great black cut-outs soaring against the sky— equally distinctive later when males attract mates by inflating throat pouches into spectacular crimson balloons which they keep expanded through much of the breeding cycle. Frigatebirds come to land only to nest, often on coastal and remote islands such as the Galapagos, Ascension and Aldabra, raising a single chick with the same feisty disposition as its parents, able early to protect itself while they’re out foraging—which they notoriously do by pirating other birds’ catches. But there’s a reason: frigates have smaller oil glands, so dropping into water would run risk of saturating plumage and becoming un-airworthy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481911381642-0U8DCJFLVJAF1O2UGJYL/94.jpg The Creatures - Great Bustard Great bustards, more than a yard tall (100 cm) weighing 45 pounds (20 kg) or more, largest birds that can fly, are drab until they go into courtship frenzy. In a visual display aimed at attracting females from thousands of yards away in their flat puszta habitat, males throw heads back and inflate feather-covered neck sacs to soccer-ball-size. Heads entirely disappear, wings turn inside out and tails raise over their backs until what remains is a towering pile of quivering white feathers, which then deflates and re-inflates repeatedly until females are sufficiently impressed to mate. They’re increasingly rare in Hungary and eastern Europe, Turkey, Ukraine, China. Britain has started a restoration program in grasslands around Stonehenge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481911533100-GFLEJQ51RLJ5MMM9T7XL/164.jpg The Creatures - Roseate Spoonbill Roseate spoonbills like to be with others of their kind. They fly together in long lines or wedgeshaped formations. They build bulky stick nests together in densely leafed trees and bushes on coastal islands isolated from land predators, often together with herons, ibises and other wading birds. They feed together in tidal ponds and sloughs from the U.S. gulf coast south through northern South America to Argentina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252301053-X3ESEBCDZ3FTZMLIYNTJ/101.jpg The Creatures - Nilgai Nilgai or blue bulls—named for dark bluish sheen of adult males—are largest Asian antelopes, up to 4.9 feet (1.5 m) at the shoulder, weighing more than 440 pounds (200 kg)—so it’s a surprise when males in heat of rivalry (perhaps to avoid real damage) drop to their knees before horn-jousting with one another. They are grazers and browsers of lightly wooded grasslands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252300665-EN9024CG9RNYP2M6Y2ZQ/102.jpg The Creatures - Hoopoe Hoopoe Nothing else looks like a hoopoe with its spectacular pink-cinnamon Indian-chief crest, spread like a fan or laid like a striped spike along its forehead, and butterfly-like flight, dramatically opening and closing boldly-barred black and white wings and tail. Nothing, they say, smells like one, either, when nesting, since they don’t remove nestlings’ droppings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252301469-0O463BAJ9PAZGDNZS1B9/103.jpg The Creatures - Eastern Gray Kangaroo Eastern gray kangaroos are champion jumpers of the marsupial world, able to leap up to 30 feet (9 m) in a single thrust of powerful Z-shaped hind legs and to go 30 miles an hour (48 kph), both a function of rubber-band-like hind leg tendons. Only a little smaller than “big reds,” their tiny one-inch (2.5 cm) babies, or joeys, weigh a half-ounce (15 g) when born, finishing development in the pouch reached only after a laborious climb from the birth canal, there to stay for the next 300 days. Eastern grays are browsers as well as grazers in grasslands and open woodlands throughout Tasmania and most of the eastern Australian provinces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252301799-JUJO21QBN2GPSBFEDRC1/104.jpg The Creatures - Rockhopper Penguin Rockhopper penguins make up in lively looks and disposition for small size,with bright red eyes, orange-red bills, bushy yellow eyebrows which they shake into wild halos during courtship, and loud “ecstatic vocalizations” with which they re-attract mates and reassert territories of previous years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252302046-I2RZMCWKVVV9KC8YUKSB/111.jpg The Creatures - Sambar Sambars are the most widespread deer in the world, ranging over much of the Asian continent, and also one of the largest, weighing up to 770 pounds (350 kg), standing up to five feet (1.5 m) at the shoulder, with antlers up to a yard (1 m) long. They’re a favorite tiger prey species, since a large sambar can feed a tiger for several days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252302795-N615Q8DA29Q1E9ADPJFC/113.jpg The Creatures - Bengal Tiger Bengal Tigers' apparently conspicuous coloring and markings are perfect camouflage in the brushy undergrowth where they stalk, exploding from cover to bring down prey as large as a young elephant or wild cattle weighing a ton or more in a single 30-foot (9-m) bound. It’s not unusual for a tiger to consume 70 pounds (32 kg) a night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252303428-2QVYBXI3ZZOJXJVI8KMF/114.jpg The Creatures - Purple Heron Purple herons’ extra-long toes let them get a good grip on reed stalks where they stand like statues, with long necks retracted in a tight S-curve until prey comes in range. Then cervical vertebrae, constructed so their necks can hardly move laterally, let go and straighten in a flash, thrusting heads forward like a released spring to stab prey or seize it in the beak. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252303717-3OG66EIUO73M9NC8TBQN/121.jpg The Creatures - American Bison Hulking European bison, once one of the most numerous hoofed animals the world has known, roamed ancient forests from the Atlantic coast to China Seas. Clearing and over-hunting brought them to the brink of extinction. They were saved in a conservation story similar to that of their U.S. plains’ cousins, American bison, their recovering numbers conserved during World War II by an unlikely protector: a Nazi aide of Adolf Hitler. Now they graze peacefully in Poland’s Bialowieza forest and elsewhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252304126-LJIR1S7H70MDGNJAYB26/122.jpg The Creatures - Black Stork Black Stork Black storks—more than three feet tall (100cm) with red beaks, legs and feet and wingspans up to 81 inches (205cm)—nest deep in old forests: silent and retiring they are seldom seen, despite enormous nests. Built by both pair members, near a marshy forest clearing, nests can measure five feet (1.5 m) across and a yard (1 m) deep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252304566-8TP91XFMA9I2WWEIBYSQ/123.jpg The Creatures - Coyote Few animals have survived more human persecution than coyotes—everything from flamethrowers to strychnine—because of real or imagined encroachment on human activities. Such is the adaptability and resourcefulness of these keen-sensed “little wolves,” that they can run almost 40 miles an hour (64 kph), eat anything from small mammals, insects, reptiles, to fruits, berries and carrion, and breed with both domestic dogs and wolves. They not only have survived persecution, but extended their range over much of North America from eastern Alaska and New England, south through Mexico and Panama. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252304790-LRUKXYSH0NGYL3N0A3XN/124.jpg The Creatures - Snowy Owl Snowy Owl Dense feathers cover all but sharp, curved claws of snowy owls, maintaining body heat of 100ºF (38–40ºC) when temperatures plummet in their circumpolar tundra habitat to –60ºF (–52ºC). Standing 20–27 inches (50–68 cm) with wingspans more than twice that, they locate prey by hearing—stiff feather discs direct faintest sounds to ear openings—plus overlapping binocular vision with light-gathering properties many times that of humans’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252305227-7DRALNN3PQU3JUKO0RS8/131.jpg The Creatures - American Elk American Elk Elk males yearly grow ponderous antlers weighing up to 40 pounds (18 kg) used to attract and vigorously defend harems during mating. Zeal to protect harems can so distract them, however, that they inadvertently allow young bulls to sneak in and mate with some females on the side. In Eurasia, North American elk are known as red deer (whereas, confusingly, the species known in North America as moose—also Holarctic are known in Eurasia as elk). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252305490-ZQEJN212RKKYROZ0UQIW/132.jpg The Creatures - Bald Eagle Bald Eagle Bald eagles can see fish swimming in water from several hundred feet up (100 m) and dive on them at speeds over 100 miles an hour (160 kph). If necessary they can swim a butterfly-stroke until they get enough lift to take off again. They return to the same nest yearly, adding to it until it becomes huge— one on record was nine feet (3 m) across and weighed two tons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252305722-ST1VWMHYKFAA9XR2JRUA/133.jpg The Creatures - Flying Fox Bat Flying Fox Bats Nocturnal flying fox bats may fly 20 miles (32 km) in search of food—fruits of almost any kind, plus flowers, pollen, nectar and sometimes leaves and bark—distance not a problem with wingspans up to four feet (1.2 m). They may eat half their body weight a night. Broad wings wrap tightly around them for protection from rain and cold when roosting head downwards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252306225-S7DA9ZEV5DBFPWFKPHDJ/134.jpg The Creatures - Carmine Bee-eater Carmine Bee-eaters Melodious carmine bee-eaters are welcomed everywhere (except by bee-keepers). They like to colonize along streambeds where they raise young in burrows they excavate on banks, lining nests with remains of their prey which is 90 percent bees, consumed after they have pounded them violently to de-venom stingers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252306526-OU7XQ3PWDUPMV2QX1PFT/141.jpg The Creatures - Prairie dog Prairie dogs may have most sophisticated of all animal languages, recent studies suggest, for example, they are able to communicate warning calls specifically identifying at least eight different predators. These intelligent ground squirrels—unrelated to dogs—construct complicated burrows extending 100 feet (30 m) or more. Their colonies or “towns” historically spread over much of the western U.S. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252306774-643U4NC83D08GU7SZ5PI/142.jpg The Creatures - Paradise Fly-catcher Paradise Fly-catcher African paradise flycatchers weave airy, delicate-looking but durable nests of roots and grasses bound together with spider webs, sometimes adorned with lichens, often over water or a dry streambed. Eggs are cream with red and lilac spots. Males lose long, showy rufous tails after breeding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252307395-ETMUB172TEFL8IBGRD2K/143.jpg The Creatures - Baboon Baboons are Africa’s largest monkeys, their doglike heads unmistakable. They’ll eat anything— grass, crocodile eggs, even newborn antelopes. They like to drink every day but can survive for long periods by licking night dew from their fur. Main predators are leopards, but even leopards hesitate to take on a baboon’s long, sharp fangs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252307788-CGZQ4C84ZFJXJY1XGKNL/144.jpg The Creatures - Flamingo Flamingos feed using a method that is shared only by certain whales, first immersing their bills upside-down in shallow water, then sucking in and expelling water through lammellae or membranes which filter out and retain food organisms of appropriate size. Their bright plumage comes from small crustacean and algae which they ingest in saline lagoons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252309352-T0L9KTRRELHJC5JT687P/151.jpg The Creatures - Bighorn sheep Bighorn sheep are known for dramatic head-to-head clashes between males in which rams equipped with curled horns weighing 30 pounds or more (14 kg) crash into rivals at speeds up to 20 miles an hour (32 kph) for 24 hours or more, ending when one ram concedes. To protect themselves in these duels males have evolved double-layered skulls supported by bony struts plus massive tendons linking skulls to spines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252309547-N7CF3GZRZR90884M4NYW/152.jpg The Creatures - Puffin Puffin Clownish little puffins with outsize multihued bills nest at the end of tunnels up to 16 feet (5 m) long in rock crevices or on cliffs at the edge of the sea, where they lay one egg—then raise their chick in total darkness. After it hatches, they feed it silvery small fish, bringing as many as 30 at once in bills ridged so when they catch one, they can tuck it back and catch another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252310787-25Y6W3INWMTN0NK222DH/153.jpg The Creatures - Vervet Vervet Green (black-faced) vervet monkeys maintain treetop balance and agility aided by long tails and, in effect, four grasping hands—hind feet as well as forelegs equipped with five long toes, with opposable thumbs and index fingers (useful also in rifling tents for interesting items, as many safari travelers know). They are good swimmers, with coarse hair that traps air, functioning as a buoyant, waterproof wet suit. They are widely distributed in Africa south of Ethiopia and Somalia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252311052-V8HITKUFHX82SISIOAVP/154.jpg The Creatures - Eurasian Kingfisher Eurasian kingfishers are a dazzling cobalt-winged blur when bright plumaged males pursue mates with shrill whistles along stream banks where they later nest. Males, able to hold beaksful of fish while still whistling loudly and distinctly, then bring food to tunnels where females incubate round, pinkish-white eggs, sometimes nestled on a litter of fish bones. They are found in Europe, Asia and Africa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252312557-L23NTB2ZBOIDQKGJGXJA/161.jpg The Creatures - Mule Deer Mule deer are named for their remarkable ears, nearly a foot long and half-foot wide (30x15 cm) which move constantly and independently, working like dish antennae, gathering even faint sounds, helping them detect predators at great distances. They may then perform a stiff-legged bound called “stotting,” bringing all four feet off the air simultaneously in a pogo stick-like leap up to eight feet (2.4m) high. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252312774-RHLTESPIZHMHV2UI4KFY/162.jpg The Creatures - Flightless Cormorant Flightless cormorants of the Galapagos Islands have lost much of the breastbone keel that supports flight muscles in other birds. They make up for it with heavier, stronger legs and feet that propel them through water with powerful kicks to capture squid, octopus, eels and bottom-living fish in rich upwellings of Cromwell and Humboldt currents off Fernandina and Isabela islands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252315584-038BHIKD9BVV2CACL5SI/163.jpg The Creatures - Lion Lions are Africa’s largest carnivores and the only cats that live in large family groups—advantageous for their group-ambush hunting style. They’re also the most sexually dimorphic—males are significantly larger than females, with long head and neck manes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252316216-9R3Z6OM0RUHV97M46ZKA/171.jpg The Creatures - American Bison Massive American bison or buffalo once formed the largest mass of animals ever to roam the earth—an estimated 60 million of them, bearded bulls with high humped shoulders and short, sharp upcurved horns standing six feet (2 m) at the shoulder, weighing more than a ton, running 30 miles an hour (48 kph). Within a few decades wild populations were almost gone, many lost to drive-by “sport” shooting by railroad car passengers, their bodies left to rot on the prairie. Luckily a remnant herd was saved and a reserve set aside for them, and they thrive now in Prince Albert National Park and elsewhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252316465-T09GU3QBATNG23HI4IDR/172.jpg The Creatures - Painted Bunting Gentle-looking painted buntings will battle to the death over territories. Courtship displays combine elaborate feather-fluffing and moth-like flights with deep shuddering quivers—all this seldom seen except by mates due to the bird’s preference for dense understory along streams and forest edges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252316904-EIAGGZVR5ZHZ2XKV5X5J/173.jpg The Creatures - Panther Mountain Lion Panther Mountain lions, known also as Florida panthers, cougars, pumas—same species—have the largest range of any New World cat, from southern Argentina to southeastern Alaska. Powerful rear leg muscles with proportionately the longest legs of any cat give them extraordinary jumping abilities. Running broad jumps can be over 45 feet (14 m) and vertical leaps up to 15 feet (5 m). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252317513-UE5NHOB68IW0WDQ6YWCQ/174.jpg The Creatures - Clouded Leopard Clouded leopards, named for cloud-like spots that provide camouflage in their forest habitat, are arboreal specialists of the cat family. With short, stout legs and low centers of gravity, thick, furry tails the length of their bodies for balance, and flexible back ankle joints that allow hind feet to rotate so they can descend head-first, like squirrels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252317876-2JZBTJ8FIKU70MKDVON2/181.jpg The Creatures - Hartebeest Hartebeest are among the swiftest antelopes, capable of 48 miles an hour (80 kph) when fleeing a predator, and, with greater endurance, able to outdistance most of them. They can make do on the toughest grasses, and go without water except when unable to get melons or tubers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252318466-SZF7PG6OURVAIAL6ELY1/182.jpg The Creatures - Hoatzin Hoatzin Crow-sized hoatzins appear prehistoric—with bare, bright-blue faces, red eyes and wild, bristly red-and-black mohawk crests. Indeed, their nestlings carry claws on their wings which they use, along with the ability to swim when danger approaches, plunging from the nest (usually over water), and swimming away, using their claws to climb back up after danger has passed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252318877-K9F5UMOLC8W36EFAJCS7/183.jpg The Creatures - Red-necked Wallabie Red-necked wallabies are largest of the wallabies, up to 40 inches (l m) plus a 30-inch (75 cm) tail, with deep, soft fur, residents of coastal heath communities and eucalyptus forests with moderate shrub cover in southeastern Australia and Tasmania, where young may graze along with their mothers while still transported about in her pouch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252319295-ZI4ZOR147B1LSAPW30DL/184.jpg The Creatures - Wild Dog Wild dogs are noted for altruism. A pack returned from a kill will stand aside for pups and even infirm adults before eating themselves, as compared with the savage free-for-all frenzy at a lion kill. Adults other than parents often stop to feed regurgitated food to youngsters before proceeding themselves. About the size of German shepherd dogs, they live in tightly bonded social groups, no two with the same patterns of black, tan, and white. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252319469-EV3PBYRCFPYVE5LV52LY/191.jpg The Creatures - Howler Monkey Howls of howler monkeys are believed to be the loudest sound of any land animal—achieved by enlarged hyoid throat bones which greatly amplify it—exceeded only by that of blue whales at sea. It’s audible three miles (5 km) away in the open, almost two miles (3 km) in dense vegetation. Howlers call on arising in the morning, at intervals through the day, and just before retiring. One howler sets off another, so when a large troop gets going together, it can seem deafening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252319882-4OJYVUK7UUPD4M8KVCMT/192.jpg The Creatures - Red-crowned Crane Red-crowned cranes, one of the rarest of a rare family, depend on breeding and wintering grounds that are themselves precarious—Korea’s demilitarized zone and coastal, riverine and freshwater marshes in Russia and northeast China, threatened by dam construction, deforestation, and agricultural expansion. They prefer relatively deep water with standing dead vegetation, signaling location of the right spot with breathtaking courtship dances and unison calls audible for miles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252320629-D8121JUDIBLH9FF1I4AY/193.jpg The Creatures - Leopard Leopards compete with larger predators, especially lions, so they like to cache prey in trees where lions don’t go. Powerful leg and neck muscles enable them to carry an adult antelope, chimpanzee or even young giraffe up to three times their weight for hundreds of yards to a safe place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252321329-NFFPJCQRXCSI5XLPOUWT/194.jpg The Creatures - White Pelican White pelicans Sociable white pelicans nest together, fly together and even feed cooperatively together, flying low over water in tight V-formation until they find a school of fish close to the surface. Then they flap their 10-foot (3-m) wingspans and dip bills in water, driving fish to shallows where they scoop up as many as they can in expandable bills which can hold over three gallons (11 liters) of food and water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252321496-YIMEYMXJUYMR6K8KK2V2/201.jpg The Creatures - Red-ruffed Lemur Red-ruffed Lemur Lemurs’ unblinking gaze, said to be the most penetrating and hypnotic of any animal, is the result of a brilliantly reflective retinal tapetum (mirror) plus extra-large corneas that reveal more eye surface than in most other primates. Set side-by-side in a forward-looking facial arrangement, they stimulate a positive response in humans, activating part of our brain cortex that reacts favorably to any facial structure roughly like our own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252323863-D8W066WWQSW9H7CNZZRU/202.jpg The Creatures - Arctic Fox Arctic fox fur has the highest insulation value of any mammal, useful in treeless arctic tundras where they live in Eurasia, North America, Iceland, and Greenland. Soles of their feet are covered entirely with fur—hence their scientific name, LAGOPUS or “rabbit foot.” Small, rounded ears restrict heat loss. Long, thick, bushy tails reach around them like fur stoles when they curl up to sleep, able to endure temperatures of –70ºF (–60ºC). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252324535-VC10BMU3AS0P5U7WMRJB/203.jpg The Creatures - Mountain Gorilla Mountain gorilla males may stand six feet (2 m) tall, with chests almost that wide, and weigh 500 pounds (220 kg). Known as “silverbacks” for silvery back patches they develop on maturity, they are gentle vegetarians unless provoked. Then they may erupt in fearsome roars, beating cupped hands on barrel chests, sounding like the low-pitched rumble of large drums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252325091-8STD0GM2SBZ8ITIAU4HT/204.jpg The Creatures - Jacanas Jacanas are known for long toes and claws that spread their weight so they can trip lightly atop floating lily pads and watery vegetation, thus exploiting a foraging niche unavailable to others. Young are not hatched with those toes, however—they don’t fit easily inside eggs—and so must grow them later. This immature bronze-winged jacana is just trying to get the hang of it (but not quite succeeding yet). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252325456-15J4AGYZ4BV3OSQP0C3Y/211.jpg The Creatures - Cheetah Cheetah cubs stay with mothers 15 months or so, grooming, purring (cheetahs don’t roar), and learning how to hunt. Fastest of all animals, they are capable of running up to 70 miles an hour (120 kph) in bounds of 25 feet (7.6 m)—but only for 600 yards (550 m) tops. Then the gazelle gets away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252327477-RQJN18YJ5CWU8MTW3CFR/212.jpg The Creatures - Crocodile Nile crocodiles, of a family thought to be the most intelligent reptiles on earth, are Africa’s largest, up to 20 feet (6 m) long, and weighing up to 1,600 pounds (726 kg). They can kill whatever comes to water, including wildebeest, pulling them under until they drown—but they can’t chew well, so sometimes don’t eat until victims start to rot and become more easily digestible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252327697-AQDIUXCZXCULU1GS0DS9/213.jpg The Creatures - Scarlet Macaw Scarlet macaws are one of the most stunning of the beautiful parrot family, and one of the most dexterous, with zygodactyl feet—two toes in front and two behind—that they use like hands in holding and manipulating objects. Bills are attached to their skulls with special hinges that give them powerful leverage and mobility in performing delicate tasks like preening feathers but also crushing the hardest nuts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252328865-1VF0XPWPF4IJ5P23QJQY/214.jpg The Creatures - Black-faced Langur Black-faced langur Hanuman or black-faced langurs are the sacred monkey of India, venerated by Hindus as the form taken by the monkey god Hanuman. Their whooping calls are heard in tropical and dry scrublands, alpine and rain forests through Southeast Asia as noisy troops of up to 125 individuals feed on leaves, fruits, buds, and blossoms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252330256-T4Z6ULSNCLC9M2ZDTG39/12.jpg The Creatures - Flightless Ostriche Flightless ostriches are world's largest living birds, six to eight (rarely up to nine) feet tall, weighing up to 345 pounds (157 kg), with a lion-like roar. Evolution has weakened their wings but strengthened leg muscles so they can run up to 40 miles an hour (70 kph) and savagely kick any predator that catches up, sometimes delivering a single fatal blow. Males share incubation of up to 80 eggs from various females in one nest (tests show females can recognize their own eggs). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252330617-UODL0FB5AL75R1X0JKDX/13.jpg The Creatures - Red Kangaroo Red kangaroos are largest living marsupials, six feet tall (1.8 m) with heavy four-foot-long (1.2-m) tails on which they rely for balance and self-defense, stabilizing them while they kick out with formidable hind legs. With these legs they jump up to six feet (1.8 m), covering up to 29 feet (8.8 m) in a bound, and run up to 35 miles an hour (56 kph) in short bursts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252332311-4H692QMNO54HT0JI26FA/14.jpg The Creatures - Great Gray Owl The great gray owl’s feathery facial discs detect faint sounds which they direct to bony cups surrounding asymmetrical ear openings to triangulate and precisely locate prey, plunging through two feet (60 cm) of snow to grasp in their talons an unsuspecting rodent. Tall, silent, golden-eyed, they range through boreal forests across Russia, Norway, Canada, and Alaska. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252332949-E3N9LMCS3TAC0UK78IB4/21.jpg The Creatures - Elephant Elephants live in highly-organized matriarchal herds of 10 to 50, all related in some way. If separated they can communicate over many miles using low frequency sounds below human hearing range. During drought they use tusks to dig to underground water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252333467-W1OQ6BC9CA3MGXYEG3IY/22.jpg The Creatures - Giant River Otter Giant river otters’ metabolism—20 per cent higher than most similarly sized animals—keeps them alert for location of prey, predators, family, and everything else in their world, with quick reactions to match. It makes it possible—also necessary because of high-energy demands—to dart with webbed feet after swiftswimming fish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252335022-EB3047TZIB0X60ZV81AI/24.jpg The Creatures - Anhinga Anhingas control air bladders in their bodies so they can ride high in water or low, with only waving heads and necks showing, looking like “snakebirds” which is what they often are called. Hinged neck vertebrae help them strike instantly to spear watery prey, which they toss up to swallow head-first. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252336885-RQQA9G5D6G5WYM51QXZG/41.jpg The Creatures - Wildebeest Wildebeest give birth to 90 percent of their calves during three weeks early in the rainy season. Young are born looking around and able to run within minutes of their birth—important because herds are constantly on the move, and staying with the group is vital in avoiding predation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252337123-BRWEOBZP4ER3A36ZHYXR/42.jpg The Creatures - Black-browed Albatross Black-browed albatrosses, like their big cousins, wandering albatrosses, have wings more than twice body length which they can set, face into the wind and then glide literally around the world on a single foraging trip, hardly moving a feather, letting wind do the work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252338303-CSH3FB602YQLQ3690JFV/43.jpg The Creatures - Porcupine Porcupines cannot throw their 30,000 quills, as sometimes said, but it can seem they do, so easily do these needle-sharp modified hairs detach at a predator’s touch. Loosely attached to a layer of voluntary muscles, they drive forcefully into an adversary’s skin, where body heat causes microscopic barbs to expand and become embedded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252340176-A0V6ASG6VHBC84ZEPXEZ/44.jpg The Creatures - Squacco Heron Squacco herons, inconspicuous when slipping through reed beds with the agility of rails, transform themselves when they unfurl white wings in preening or in flight. Courtship plumage gives them feathered hoods and capes controlled by muscles which sleek them against bodies or flare them dramatically. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252340636-YFJV5A66DAPWR3M0I1FV/51.jpg The Creatures - Giraffe Giraffes are the world's tallest animals, up to 16 feet (5 m) tall and weighing about a ton. To maintain blood flow up to the brain their blood pressure is about twice that of other mammals; special circulatory valves keep them from fainting when their heads are lowered to forage or drink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252342592-4QWA8QBMW57O8XZ4SXIF/52.jpg The Creatures - Mot-mot Mot-mot Lacy-tailed blue-crowned mot-mots work in pairs to excavate elaborate mudbank tunnel nests without seeming to ruffle a feather of gorgeous plumage. Tunnels up to 14 feet (4.2 m) long with spacious nest chambers are finished in early fall, then abandoned until the pair start spring courtship rituals. Decorative tails are not inborn but plucked out by each bird. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252343377-LA56Q9ITIF53PE04Q86O/53.jpg The Creatures - Tammar Wallaby Tammar Wallaby Tammars are one of the smallest wallabies, with equally small babies, weighing a minuscule 0.01 ounce (0.3 g) when they leave the birth canal and make their way to their mother’s pouch. So tightly do they attach themselves to their mother’s breasts that the first European who saw these small kangaroos thought the young grew from their mother’s mammary glands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252346191-89JTHCRPGTQMSXN2PLCF/54.jpg The Creatures - Whimbrel Whimbrels’ long down-curved bills enable them to make use of a comprehensive diet including worms and mollusks they can find only by probing deep into mudflats, leading to their nickname “elephant bird” in Southeast Asia. Circumpolar, their far-carrying “pe-pe-pe-pe-pe” whistle is heard over breeding grounds in subarctic and Arctic from Iceland across Eurasia, Alaska, and Canada. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252346787-W34PBBCA87TUKG6Z6DCH/61.jpg The Creatures - Warthog Warthogs’ “warts” are fleshy skin-covered projections on each cheek which protect eyes and faces from rivals’ tusks in fights. Molars and jaw hinges are modified to grind toughest grasses which they munch while resting on calloused knees. In dry times they root for tubers, aerating the soil, which aids plant growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252348049-8XI623PP70MRKJR4HCB7/62.jpg The Creatures - Indian Roller Indian rollers are often unnoticed perching motionless in open country until a frog, butterfly or large insect is spotted. Then with an explosion of flashing blue wings, purple breast and throat and turquoise crown, the roller takes out in pursuit. Females get a similar show with different purpose when males perform rolling courtship flights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252351666-TI5EW2XR0NTZ7ZB7SCH3/64.jpg The Creatures - Cock-of-the-Rock Cock-of-the-rock males, heads enveloped in scarlet-orange plumage covering all but their eyes, give a show for females on a communal courtship lek where a dozen or more gather in deep mountainous forest and serially perform. One dances, tossing his head, calling, spreading wings and tail, hopping on one foot, then another, posing dramatically for moments at a time, and finally retiring to let another take his turn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252352563-3I7H3U5HVQO00AQ09NDC/81.jpg The Creatures - Thomson’s Gazelle Thomson’s Gazelles are East Africa’s commonest gazelle, major prey species for cheetahs, lions, leopards, hunting dogs, and hyenas. Young ones are vulnerable as well to jackals, baboons, eagles, pythons, and smaller cats. Main defenses are keen senses and speed—they can run 40 miles an hour (67 kph), often for longer than a sprinting cheetah can pursue them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252353783-406S1WQ8DDN5W8WIRXBE/82.jpg The Creatures - Rüppell’s Vulture Rüppell’s Vultures use hooked bills to tear into carcasses which they locate chiefly by sight, soaring high above their territories. These Rüppell’s vultures are world’s highest flying birds—one hit a jet at an altitude of 37,000 feet (11,000 m). A seething, squabbling feeding group like this can devour an antelope in 20 minutes. Afterward, gorged, they may have difficulty getting airborne again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252353988-X135E8NU7GOXU70ICPLX/83.jpg The Creatures - Gray Wolf Gray wolves have the greatest natural range of any land mammals except humans—over northern U.S., Canada, Europe, and temperate-to-polar Russia. Highly social, they form family and hunting packs of two to 12 or more—but only the dominant or “alpha” pair breed, ensuring best survival chance to their pups. They hunt in single file—in snow, stepping in pawprints up to six inches (15 cm) long of preceding animals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252358557-NXLNTOUSDCRHFZ69CB9J/84.jpg The Creatures - Crested Hawk-Eagle Crested hawk-eagles with short, rounded wings and tails are well-adapted to maneuver skillfully through dense forests of India, Sri Lanka, and continental Asia as well as Indonesia and the Philippines. They are equally at home scouting out open areas and rice fields. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252358784-W8JLGKH8JEGAV2QOH0EO/91.jpg The Creatures - Chinkara Chinkara Diminutive chinkara or Indian gazelles survive in woodlands or desert, going without water for long periods if necessary, eking out moisture from herbage and dewdrops. Standing just 25 inches (65 cm) at the shoulder, they seem constantly on the lookout for danger, nervously flicking their tails, glancing in all directions. Uncommon over much of their range in Iran, Pakistan, and India. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252359354-GN00FJCVEWPPQFLSNU68/92.jpg The Creatures - Painted Stork Painted stork nestlings summon parents with raucous cries which they lose later. Mature storks entirely lack syrinx or voice box muscles—but they make up for it with large multifunctional bills which clatter in rattles to serve all their communications needs, in courting, mating and nesting. In feeding, these bills swing back and forth, snapping shut instantly on touching a small fish or frog in freshwater swamps from the Indian subcontinent through Southeast Asia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252360888-WKXLTZTLXT9I0415GBAI/93.jpg The Creatures - Jaguarundis Jaguarundis move like shadows in scrubland and forest they inhabit from Texas south through most of South America, their low, slender bodies slipping through vegetation without a leaf stirring. They’re known also as otter cats but more for their appearance—otter-sized, weasel-like, with long, slender bodies and short legs—than for any liking for water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501252364588-GOHME9LU60IZNR04VBBN/94.jpg The Creatures - Great Bustard Great bustards, more than a yard tall (100 cm) weighing 45 pounds (20 kg) or more, largest birds that can fly, are drab until they go into courtship frenzy. In a visual display aimed at attracting females from thousands of yards away, males throw heads back and inflate feather-covered neck sacs to soccer-ball-size. Heads entirely disappear, wings turn inside out and tails raise over their backs until what remains is a towering pile of quivering white feathers. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/okavango-delta daily 0.75 2017-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1508261159071-Z7W3RB16OV4760G7FFAU/tripadvisor.jpg Okavango Delta https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/dja-faunal-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Dja Faunal Reserve https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492030573528-MQCA704FJY6L1TGWSPXZ/Caption+overlay Dja Faunal Reserve Hyenas’ powerful jaws can support their body weight, enabling them to hang from a zebra’s or wildebeest’s neck after slashing into an artery. Their large teeth can crush bones. Every part of a victim is digested within 24 hours—bones, hooves, horns, even teeth—by acidic stomach fluids.

Males share incubation of up to 80 eggs from various females in one nest (tests show females can recognize their own eggs). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481499815654-D4C31FSPZX3ME44E8DZB/image-asset.jpeg Manovo-Gounda-St. Floris National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Manovo-Gounda-St. Floris National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481499853634-AV88QSUM3JTLVIPYB7VS/Botswana-Predator-Conservation-Trust.jpg Manovo-Gounda-St. Floris National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/dzanga-ndoki-park daily 0.75 2017-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481499815654-D4C31FSPZX3ME44E8DZB/image-asset.jpeg Dzanga-Ndoki Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481499853634-AV88QSUM3JTLVIPYB7VS/Botswana-Predator-Conservation-Trust.jpg Dzanga-Ndoki Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Dzanga-Ndoki Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/congo-republic-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492193215007-PZ1Y18VQ174E7TZTCUIT/image-asset.gif Congo Republic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492193408880-0RBVN42ZPI8I6DM9LTQV/image-asset.gif Congo Republic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492193463402-QJVKQH3YNG896UJS796A/image-asset.gif Congo Republic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492193374776-NCFB84KUI145R9I9T15O/image-asset.gif Congo Republic https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/cote-diviore daily 0.75 2021-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492207597577-W4WV7J0DP52UK30WM2U6/image-asset.gif Côte D’Ivoire https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492207447424-YY9291UO1164KKT53ZOK/image-asset.gif Côte D’Ivoire https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492207728986-14K3L9MJ77ZZ9EJ6YPXI/image-asset.gif Côte D’Ivoire https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492207754974-BFJR9I1ZFMAQ2G25EJRL/image-asset.gif Côte D’Ivoire https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/democratic-republic-of-congo-formerly-zaire daily 0.75 2021-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492208439474-641IENTTHHCH01EBY466/image-asset.gif Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492208636602-MNJ180KIB4BG0CYT0UGS/image-asset.gif Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493044557087-AO0HP7X8T6GYED9AG7JP/image-asset.png Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492208678280-V2Q1ZHJRD53VP9DHNVZ9/image-asset.gif Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/ethiopia daily 0.75 2021-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492210984187-MHBNTIZ8TGMN1LTL9Q6A/image-asset.gif Ethiopia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492211198619-7IMGKB0C37E795ZWZHMV/Vultures-Ruppell%27s.jpg Ethiopia Vultures use hooked bills to tear into carcasses which they locate chiefly by sight, soaring high above their territories. These Rüppell’s vultures are world’s highest flying birds—one hit a jet at an altitude of 37,000 feet (11,000 m). A seething, squabbling feeding group like this can devour an antelope in 20 minutes. Afterward, gorged, they may have difficulty getting airborne again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492210962282-VHB9G6AIA24DXMWWVDE1/image-asset.gif Ethiopia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492380743645-NFY1379MHXADTRFQ7K2Q/image-asset.gif Ethiopia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492211459149-OJH0AY8G54KQAUW5ENUZ/image-asset.gif Ethiopia https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/gabon daily 0.75 2021-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492385159105-QYGYXY5JDE2YF7IC1SZC/image-asset.gif Gabon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492385333036-I4EYX8HMV9CE989I8GPN/image-asset.jpeg Gabon Elephants live in highly organized matriarchal herds of 10 to 50, all related in some way. If separated they can stay in communication over many miles through low frequency sounds below human hearing range. During drought they use tusks to dig to underground water they are thought to locate by smelling the earth above.

A pack returned from a kill will stand aside for pups and even infirm adults before eating themselves, as compared with the savage free-for-all frenzy at a lion kill. Adults other than parents often stop to feed regurgitated food to youngsters before proceeding themselves. About the size of German shepherd dogs, they live in tightly bonded social groups, no two with the same patterns of black, tan, and white (Latin name, LYCAON PICTUS, means ”painted wolf”). Once common, they are rare now over much of their former range in sub-Saharan Africa as the result of habitat destruction, disease, and persecution for supposed predation of domestic stock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Salonga National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/virunga-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Virunga National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/simen-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Simen National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/aberdare-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Aberdare National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/amboseli-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Amboseli National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kakum-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Kakum National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/lop-faunal-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Lopé Faunal Reserve https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/mount-nimba-nature-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492539223018-TN9XSL2EP8T3B78IFDLC/image-asset.jpeg Mount Nimba Nature Reserve Baboons are Africa’s largest monkeys, their doglike heads unmistakable.

There, between late January and mid-March, females will begin to give birth to some 300,000 tiny, reddish-buff, black-faced calves which they conceived eight months earlier, and start the whole cycle again. Fossil evidence suggests they have been doing this here for more than a million years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492540659810-VBFRV8T93XKEHH2243ZG/image-asset.jpeg Maasai Mara Wildlife Reserve Wildebeest give birth to 90 percent of their calves during three weeks early in the rainy season.

They can kill whatever comes to water, including wildebeest, pulling them under until they drown—but they can’t chew well, so sometimes don’t eat until victims start to rot and become more easily digestible. This one guards her nest, which may contain 60 eggs, vulnerable to raids by hyenas, monitor lizards or humans. After 80–90 days’ incubation, she may assist hatching by gently cracking eggs and carrying young to water, where they will be protected until they take off on their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg “W” National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/reserve-naturelle-nationale-de-lar-et-du-tenere daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Reserve Naturelle Nationale De L’aïr Et Du Ténéré https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/niokolokoba-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492616377655-PLF3O8MR2WF6YBVHPAMX/image-asset.jpeg Niokolo-Koba National Park Turkey-sized ground hornbills prefer walking on stubby, broad-soled feet to flying.

One of the world’s longest-lived birds, captives have survived more than 40 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Niokolo-Koba National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/parc-national-des-volcans-pnv daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Parc National Des Volcans (Pnv) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492615787976-BP9DA1CHA71BU88B1FDA/image-asset.jpeg Parc National Des Volcans (Pnv) Mountain gorilla males may stand six feet (2 m) tall, with chests almost that wide, and weigh 500 pounds (220 kg). Known as “silverbacks” for silvery back patches they develop on maturity, they are gentle vegetarians unless provoked.

They may repeat this several times before diving at great speed, while rolling to left and right, finally landing near the female, who by then is often calling in response. Calls are less lovely than flights or plumage: a harsh ”zaaak” squawk. Common in open scrub and grasslands. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/olduvai-gorge daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Olduvai Gorge https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/mahale-mountains-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Mahale Mountains National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kalahari-gemsbok-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Kalahari Gemsbok National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/arusha-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Arusha National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/ruaha-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Ruaha National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/gombe-stream-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Gombe Stream National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/ngorongoro-crater-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492623325993-JLQM2YVWDNAPF7LZK1CU/image-asset.jpeg Ngorongoro Crater National Park Thomson’s are East Africa’s commonest gazelle, major prey species for cheetahs, lions, leopards, hunting dogs, and hyenas.

Females lays their one egg on their mate’s feet, to be kept warm under a feathered breast flap while she goes off to feed. He moves, if he must, with a careful shuffle to avoid losing the egg. She returns in time to share the 51–57-day incubation while he forages, diving sometimes hundreds of yards deep, able to stay down six to seven minutes, returning with food for the new-hatched chick. Preferred breeding sites are coastal plains in easy reach of the sea, where up to a million may gather. Chicks stay on parents’ feet another month or so, then go to enormous créches of woolly young, surviving the next winter with only occasional feeding, fledging finally the next summer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492702264293-48MLVFG9BP6BJX1M3ESR/image-asset.jpeg Antarctica-2 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/among-sub-antarctic-islands daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1492709143813-Q2S5W7YSAJQPG7I0P0BW/image-asset.jpeg Among Sub-Antarctic Islands Chinstraps, named for distinctive black neck feathers, often seen standing about on ice floes, like to forage among pack ice.

They’re a favorite tiger prey species, since a large sambar can feed a tiger for several days.

Then cervical vertebrae, constructed so their necks can hardly move laterally, let go and straighten in a flash, thrusting heads forward like a released spring to stab prey or seize it in the beak.

Renowned for their ability to leap high on long legs to capture flying birds such as pigeons and guinea fowl, caracals can survive for long periods without water other than metabolic moisture of their prey.

With short, stout legs and low centers of gravity, thick, furry tails the length of their bodies for balance, and flexible back ankle joints that allow hind feet to rotate so they can descend head-first, like squirrels, they can crawl along horizontal branches with backs to the ground, like sloths, or dangle from hind legs only.

It’s not unusual for a tiger to consume 70 pounds (32 kg) a night, covering the carcass and returning to dine on it until it’s gone. Only about a third of hunting attempts are successful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Corbett National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/dachigam-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Dachigam National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kaziranga-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493314835222-6F9OXACDN81LQ7387VHC/image-asset.jpeg Kaziranga National Park Indian rollers are often unnoticed perching motionless in open country until a frog, butterfly or large insect is spotted. Then with an explosion of flashing blue wings, purple breast and throat and turquoise crown, lower wings and tail the roller takes out in pursuit. Females get a similar show with different purpose when males perform rolling courtship flights for which they are named, flying steeply upward, then banking and spiraling downward. Pure white eggs are laid in a tree-hole to which the pair may return yearly, anywhere from Iraq and Iran through Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Southeast Asia, Tibet, and parts of China. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Kaziranga National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/manas-wildlife-sanctuary daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Manas Wildlife Sanctuary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493315054381-2AZVED0BMNLSY8MQ2DUT/image-asset.jpeg Manas Wildlife Sanctuary Crested hawk-eagles with short, rounded wings and tails are well-adapted to maneuver skillfully through dense forests of India, Sri Lanka, and continental Asia as well as Indonesia and the Philippines.

Mature storks entirely lack syrinx or voice box muscles—but they make up for it with large multifunctional bills which clatter in rattles to serve all their communications needs, in courting, mating and nesting. In feeding, these bills swing back and forth, snapping shut instantly on touching a small fish or frog in freshwater swamps from the Indian subcontinent through Southeast Asia. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/arabian-oryx-sanctuary daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Arabian Oryx Sanctuary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493735505912-QOPTMZKIEKN9C49AUP0A/Steppe-Eagle.jpg Arabian Oryx Sanctuary Steppe eagles are members of the Aquila genus known as true eagles: Large and aggressive, with formidable beaks and claws, lancet-chaped head and neck, and feathers that cover the legs. They soar holding wings straight out, with wingtips spread like fingers, preying on small and medium-sized mammals - although when termite populations explode, they can gather in large flocks and each consume up to 2,000 termites a day. Steppe eagles inhabit open country including arid steppe and semidesert; nesting in Africa and southeastern Europe through India and China to Hainan; wintering south to Myanmar and the Malay Peninsula. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/ahlaungdaw-kathapaw-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Ahlaungdaw Kathapaw National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/royal-bardia-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Royal Bardia National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/lahugala-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493738760756-47UINRXMG99WK3GMWZ21/image-asset.jpeg Lahugala National Park Jacanas are known for long toes and claws that spread their weight so they can trip lightly atop floating lily pads and watery vegetation, thus exploiting a foraging niche unavailable to others. Young are not hatched with those toes, however—they don’t fit easily inside eggs—and so must grow them later. This immature bronze-winged jacana is just trying to get the hang of it (but not quite succeeding yet). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Lahugala National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/horton-plains-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Horton Plains National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/peak-wilderness-sanctuary daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Peak Wilderness Sanctuary https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/sinharaja-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Sinharaja National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/bundala-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Bundala National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/gal-oya-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Gal Oya National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/uda-walawe-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Uda Walawe National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/wasgomuwa-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Wasgomuwa National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/yala-ruhuna-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Yala (Ruhuna) National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/thung-yai-huai-kha-khaeng daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Thung Yai-Huai Kha Khaeng https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/wilpattu-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493740045487-4ISD5AM0R39QXRZMK6Q7/image-asset.jpeg Wilpattu National Park Large, spotted, reddish-fawn chital (or axis deer) with lyre-shaped antlers, called most beautiful of all deer, and a favorite tiger prey species, graze along shaded streams and grassy forest edges of India and Sri Lanka. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Wilpattu National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/nam-cat-tien-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Nam Cat Tien National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493744763078-MXEJC06VR9CAFH3RD8KX/image-asset.jpeg Nam Cat Tien National Park Eurasian kingfishers are a dazzling cobalt-winged blur when bright plumaged males pursue mates with shrill whistles along streambanks where they later nest.

They are well able to make their own way, and do, with razor-sharp tusks that may grow to nine inches (22 cm), acute senses of hearing and smell (as French truffle-hunters discovered) plus their own high intelligence, omnivorous appetites and adaptability to almost every habitat but deep snow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kaeng-krachan-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Kaeng Krachan National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/vu-quang-nature-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Vu Quang Nature Reserve https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/russian-federation daily 0.75 2021-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493823423621-8DDVIYM867KN9W1E4DKF/image-asset.gif Russian Federation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493823087914-MMJKTKLUKDGOOH3XJ1QF/image-asset.gif Russian Federation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493823244744-WCCUEKPKDILJRFQAVHMV/Russian-Federation-Map.gif Russian Federation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493823391804-68XSNIAZR4JEAT8VXWHA/image-asset.gif Russian Federation https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/southwest-russiaeastern-european-forest-steppe-caspian-semidesert daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493836359141-YF94QT74VRN6KHBMX21U/image-asset.jpeg Southwest Russia—Eastern European Forest, Steppe & Caspian Semidesert Newborn saiga https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/ural-mountains daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/great-arctic-region daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/northwest-russia-eastern-european-forest-region daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493836123800-T5QOQH4KFBBRLZ1AF1XS/image-asset.jpeg Northwest Russia & Eastern European Forest Region https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/southern-siberia-and-baikal daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/great-caucasus daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/central-siberia daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/southeastern-russia-amur-sakhalin daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493830359950-2NVAMVS9C5JSHTZ9WKO6/image-asset.gif Southeastern Russia—Amur Sakhalin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493830400394-WLIIKOQS4V6LQGNM0HCX/image-asset.gif Southeastern Russia—Amur Sakhalin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493836610900-OEIP17VX06U34EGKBCN8/image-asset.jpeg Southeastern Russia—Amur Sakhalin https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/ust-lensky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/wrangel-island-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/darvinsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/bryansky-les-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kaluzhsky-zaseki-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/far-eastern-russiakamchatka-peninsula-okhotsk-sea daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kostomukshsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/nizhnesvirsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kandalakshsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/orenburgsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/cherny-zemly-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493901142217-X5TIV1SDKEIVX8YVDIEQ/image-asset.jpeg Cherny Zemly Zapovednik For more than a century scientists puzzled over classification of the saiga, this goatlike, gazelle-like, sheep-like antelope with short, stocky body, spindly legs, mane on the bottom of its neck, bulging eyes that can see almost 360 degrees, and fleshy, humped nose. But all serve a function for this fleet desert wanderer. Large noses filter airborne dust during migration in herds of 100,000 or more over dry steppes of Russia and Kazakhstan, and warm the air before it reaches lungs in icy winters. Poaching for translucent ringed horns for supposed aphrodisiac and medicinal use has reduced once large herds to worrisome remnants. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/rdeisky-and-polistovsky-zapovedniks daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493910110294-9C55QP3Z2YU84KU4C3PE/image-asset.jpeg Rdeisky And Polistovsky Zapovedniks The great gray owl’s feathery facial discs detect faint sounds which they direct to bony cups surrounding asymmetrical ear openings to triangulate and precisely locate prey, plunging through two feet (60 cm) of snow to grasp in their talons an unsuspecting rodent.

Highly social, they form family and hunting packs of two to 12 or more—but only the dominant or “alpha” pair breed, ensuring best survival chance to their pups. They hunt in single file—in snow, stepping in pawprints up to six inches (15 cm) long of preceding animal—and are able to bring down much larger prey, outrunning them in bounds up 16 feet (5 m), crushing their bones with jaws that exert pressures up to 1,500 pounds per square inch (100 kg/cm2). https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/katunsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/khingansky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/altaisky-zapovednik-the-golden-mountains-of-altai daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kavkazsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kedrovaya-pad-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/tsentralnolesnoy-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/shulgantash-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/sikhotealinsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493903657749-00BTMQFUNMG23YBDJROS/image-asset.jpeg Sikhote-Alinsky Zapovednik Siberian or Amur tigers up to 10 feet (3 m) long, with massive, heavily muscled limbs and shoulders, can leap 10 feet at a single bound. Long, dense, paler coats and furry neck ruffs make them look even bigger than they are. They can consume 75 pounds (95 kg) at a meal. Prey is usually killed by crashing down on the quarry’s back and biting the neck, either severing the jugular or crushing the spine—but they’ve been known to track bears to winter dens to dig out and dispatch a still-sleepy victim. Less than 500 remain in the wild, most in the Siberian Far East. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/baikalolensky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493902683461-UG7EC85WTS987RFHJ8PD/image-asset.jpeg Baikalo-Lensky Zapovednik Great snipes depend on vast marshes with sphagnum-covered tussocks and willow scrubs, usually fed by multiple tiny streams, not only for food and nest sites but for elaborate courtship displays. A dozen or so males gather and leap together 5–8 feet (1.5–2.5 m) in the air, breast to breast, bill to bill, tails fluffed, ending with loud drumming wingbeats designed to awe any female within 100–250 yards (93–230 m). https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kuzneztsky-alatau daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/dalnevostochnymorskoy-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kronotsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kurilsky-zapovednik daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/bahamas daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1495819506382-4F7KOUXLDVHYOGHRHSJK/image-asset.gif Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1495819489010-Y2W3BDAPGNI85Y1T9ZH6/image-asset.gif Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1495818179031-VT3T1VTWXV7HOVQA9604/image-asset.gif Bahamas https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/caribbean daily 0.75 2019-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1495818142185-4RF1QKKCR89VBGBWHS9T/image-asset.gif Caribbean https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/caribbean-and-central-america daily 0.75 2021-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1495815420535-83S0SGL0BC6IHMWD7LGI/image-asset.jpeg Caribbean and Central America https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/cuba daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1495821144535-ZIHUBHK5BV7BCQGCHRSV/image-asset.jpeg Cuba Resourceful foragers, blue-gray tanagers seem happy flying out to capture insect prey in midair, equally so dining on fruiting and flowering trees or meticulously searching for hidden grubs in branches and leaves.

After a successful sally they beat their hapless victim against a branch until wings flutter to the ground, and only then consume the body. Jacamars’ sharp calls suggest lives of high excitement, and indeed, high-pitched notes of their vocal courtship climaxes ending in long-drawn, clear, soft trills are one of the loveliest sounds of tropical woodlands and streamsides from Mexico to northern Argentina. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/dominican-republic daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496765222714-SKTKVDD7FH64QKD7OY2N/Dominican-Republic-Map.gif Dominican Republic https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/trinidad daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496781917433-S30I58CIN6IUZ0KWXKBC/image-asset.png Trinidad https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/trinidad-and-tobago daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496781624274-OCQ8K0G229QGUIPS651G/image-asset.jpeg Trinidad and Tobago Flamingos feed using a method that is shared only by certain whales, first immersing their bills upside-down in shallow water, then sucking in and expelling water through lammellae or membranes which filter out and retain food organisms of appropriate size.

Pre-Columbian civilizations of Peru and Central America worshipped jaguars as gods, but overhunting for their beautiful spotted fur, as well as habitat destruction, has led to near-extinction over much of their range.

They range through savannahs and forests from southeastern Arizona to Argentina, nosy, busy little creatures, chattering among themselves, holding striped tails erect, leaping into trees with loud clicks and woofs if surprised. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Santa Rosa National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/panama daily 0.75 2019-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496866580916-V9OFIA7UAYWVO0KYJOS9/image-asset.gif Panama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496866603967-RVBZDY6ETAESK6W2IZ2J/image-asset.gif Panama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496866447730-IJSK7I3P79O3NR0ZZQPA/image-asset.png Panama https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496866300114-WDWTRFQBCGGV85EZ2SC0/image-asset.gif Panama https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/sierra-de-las-minas-world-biosphere-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496864827027-KSYOO6EZ7PJM2H9C2IJT/image-asset.jpeg Sierra De Las Minas World Biosphere Reserve Vocal yellow-crowned parrots have large, muscular feet that are as useful as their wings.

They’re known also as otter cats but more for their appearance—otter-sized, weasel-like, with long, slender bodies and short legs—than for any liking for water, or for their color, which can be gray, reddish brown, or black, sometimes all in the same litter (though they’re born spotted). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496865593184-IOYOGB8GJG3YANMI28C3/image-asset.jpeg Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve Scarlet macaws are one of the most stunning of the beautiful parrot family, and one of the most dexterous, with zygodactyl feet—two toes in front and two behind—that they use like hands in holding and manipulating objects. Bills are attached to their skulls with special hinges that give them powerful leverage and mobility in performing delicate tasks like preening feathers but also crushing the hardest nuts, and act as third feet in grasping perches so they are excellent climbers as well. These dazzling birds are increasingly endangered by demand for the pet trade through Central and northern South America. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496865519530-LP6AA4BNEV3QUG6KPHHL/image-asset.jpeg Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve Howls of howler monkeys are believed to be the loudest sound of any land animal—achieved by enlarged hyoid throat bones which greatly amplify it—exceeded only by that of blue whales at sea. It’s audible three miles (5 km) away in the open, almost two miles (3 km) in dense vegetation. Howlers call on arising in the morning, at intervals through the day, and just before retiring. One howler sets off another, so when a large troop gets going together, it can seem deafening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/honduras daily 0.75 2019-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496865129857-EITL13PZANTN10A6NDH4/image-asset.png Honduras https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496865084301-SUVPMMVUI1T86M8NF874/image-asset.gif Honduras https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496865221894-JCDB4M05PRW7IXCOF8FW/image-asset.gif Honduras https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496865242761-KLCFXUIY9IUEJTFSCH0S/image-asset.gif Honduras https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/soberania-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Soberania National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1496867039361-VDQD3JR1HD0SO6SO0CXO/image-asset.jpeg Soberania National Park Even within large sociable flocks of a hundred or so, blue and yellow macaw pairs stay close, flying together with wings almost touching. It is a scene of breathtaking beauty when they fly from daylight feeding in canopies of fruiting forests to evening roosts, sunset light catching their azure backs, then their golden breasts. Unfortunately their beauty and intelligence has made them desirable pets.

Offspring usually stay through the next litter to act as parents’ helpers in hunting, feeding of new mother and young, and guarding pups. Their vocabulary of howling calls communicate location, declare territory, finding of food and cementing pair and family bonds. Their intelligence has led to inclusion in Middle East fables in similar roles as to Europe’s sly fox. They occur in varied habitats of north and east Africa, southeastern Europe and across southern and southeastern Asia to Thailand and Sri Lanka. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Khao Yai National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/belarus daily 0.75 2019-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497026854525-BNJJ3FL7PWSY3X8FCNNX/image-asset.gif Belarus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497026837768-ZAITGIGHTXJO5NH0PWTU/image-asset.gif Belarus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497026743654-QBNT7T29V72I6LXJ0M4S/image-asset.png Belarus https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497026677199-6J02F367Q6C0SF0JM388/image-asset.gif Belarus https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/europe-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497029707857-LF2S6NKXPIBLW4QAK43J/image-asset.jpeg Europe https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/bulgaria daily 0.75 2019-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497028190984-149U6RTIWDYXWNTJDOUO/image-asset.gif Bulgaria https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497028376275-KAIUQCQDGPOTX0NVAH8M/image-asset.jpeg Bulgaria Nothing else looks like a hoopoe with its spectacular pink-cinnamon Indian-chief crest, spread like a fan or laid like a striped spike along its forehead, and butterfly-like flight, dramatically opening and closing boldly-barred black and white wings and tail. Nothing, they say, smells like one, either, when nesting, since they don’t remove nestlings’ droppings. Hoopoes range over open woodlands, nesting in old tree holes or rocky niches in Eurasia, wintering in Africa and southern Asia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497028410794-JW0FNJINAWFUXJU3RBQI/image-asset.gif Bulgaria https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497028502696-IOCWJ3RZ03FWTAYQPV5I/image-asset.png Bulgaria https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1497028433961-MV4SFCCW84I1D8ROD81I/image-asset.gif Bulgaria https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/hortobagy-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498158550871-9GSNVTIAYBCZHZOY5KLF/Great-Bustard.jpg Hortobagy National Park Great bustards, more than a yard tall (100 cm) weighing 45 pounds (20 kg) or more, largest birds that can fly, are drab until they go into courtship frenzy. In a visual display aimed at attracting females from thousands of yards away in their flat puszta habitat, males throw heads back and inflate feather-covered neck sacs to soccer-ball-size. Heads entirely disappear, wings turn inside out and tails raise over their backs until what remains is a towering pile of quivering white feathers, which then deflates and re-inflates repeatedly until females are sufficiently impressed to mate. They’re increasingly rare in Hungary and eastern Europe, Turkey, Ukraine, China. Britain has started a restoration program in grasslands around Stonehenge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Hortobagy National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/camargue daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Camargue https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498157027172-B53AF68JOP023KNV76PR/image-asset.jpeg Camargue Gannets, large, brilliantly white cigar-shaped seabirds with buff-cream heads nest in great crowded colonies on high cliffs on both sides of the North Atlantic, supplying fuzzy white nestlings with fish gathered in prodigious dives.

After it hatches, they feed it silvery small fish, bringing as many as 30 at once in bills ridged so when they catch one, they can tuck it back and catch another until they reach capacity. Adults drop these at the burrow, feeding the chick up to its weight in fish daily, finally stopping, at which point the youngster totters out and off the cliff-edge into the sea, where it must fend for itself. Four years later, if all goes well, it will return, find a lifelong mate and nest here itself. Atlantic puffins nest on both sides of the North Atlantic, with huge colonies on Iceland and the Faroes and Scottish islands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498160450616-G7AQ6WW9VXV8GL8RX1N5/image-asset.jpeg Iceland Guillemots spend most of their lives at sea, coming to land only to nest—but when they do, they come in tens of thousands, crowding together on rocky islands and sea cliffs on both sides of the North Atlantic—60,000 on Scotland’s St. Kilda alone. Each pair lays a single egg which is pointed or pyriform in shape so it won’t roll off narrow cliff edges, since they use no nesting material. They are—like other members of the auk family—sometimes known as penguins of the northern hemisphere, black and white with bolt-upright posture, rear-end legs that make them awkward on land but swiftly graceful at sea, where they literally “fly underwater.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498160811686-ETFM6UBY8AT5PR95KCTU/image-asset.gif Iceland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Iceland https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/greenland daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Greenland https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/faroe-islands daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Faroe Islands https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/northeast-greenland-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/italy daily 0.75 2019-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498230702414-QOQ5JWWU44H69US6EI25/image-asset.gif Italy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498230382656-K03K7BOQ16LJI6GCQ4GR/image-asset.gif Italy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498230679995-KOTP3IZ6DI0UPK6FHJM7/image-asset.gif Italy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498230438620-5NVUTY2PF1ARJ4OH0Z9M/image-asset.png Italy https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/gran-paradiso-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Gran Paradiso National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/poland daily 0.75 2019-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498233918876-CEWVUSHUL2PT96WHVFMU/image-asset.gif Poland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498233975306-Z4QFXKKTPD3EH3GBMXC9/image-asset.png Poland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498234051519-1BE5F1PPRGNVGBCKCQLH/image-asset.gif Poland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498234078413-8OKK1B16TVA6O4MKA7S7/image-asset.gif Poland https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/svalbard daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498232593321-BQYANPQ2TK11PLQQSZLP/Whimbrel.jpg Svalbard Whimbrels’ long down-curved bills enable them to make use of a comprehensive diet including worms and mollusks they can find only by probing deep into mudflats, leading to their nickname “elephant bird” in Southeast Asia.

Then they flap their 10-foot (3-m) wingspans and dip bills in water, driving fish to shallows where they scoop up as many as they can in expandable bills which can hold over three gallons (11 liters) of food and water. They then strain out the water and consume the rest whole. Since their daily requirement is only two to four fish, they’re usually through by mid-morning and can spend the rest of the day basking and preening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Danube Delta https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/romania daily 0.75 2019-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498240520610-GXS1JZ2F0FPUHDN9FOPY/image-asset.jpeg Romania Squacco herons, inconspicuous when slipping through reed beds with the agility of rails, transform themselves when they unfurl white wings in preening or in flight. Courtship plumage gives them feathered hoods and capes controlled by muscles which sleek them against bodies or flare them dramatically. Beaks become deep blue-green, and yellow legs change to red. They’re at home in shallow marshy lakes, ponds and reed- and tree-lined rivers of mid and south-to-eastern Europe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498240414342-F06IHIU8IJJFY4KSJTI2/image-asset.png Romania https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498240671373-W0PIP4K1OJ8681VXSSFT/image-asset.gif Romania https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498240356142-9B0JABJUHI6KM9HM890D/image-asset.gif Romania https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498240704662-66MV8176J6HM22UNT738/image-asset.gif Romania https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/bialowieza-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Bialowieza National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498240089112-6N7TT7KJFFWQ2VEEGNFL/image-asset.jpeg Bialowieza National Park Hulking European bison, once one of the most numerous hoofed animals the world has known, roamed ancient forests from the Atlantic coast to China Seas. Clearing and over-hunting brought them to the brink of extinction. They were saved in a conservation story similar to that of their U.S. plains’ cousins, American bison, their recovering numbers conserved during World War II by an unlikely protector: a Nazi aide of Adolf Hitler.

Magnificent fliers and gliders, they’ve been clocked up to 50 miles an hour (80 kph) by fishing boats. Both adults and chicks defend nests by spitting foul-smelling stomach oil at predators such as eagles, with fatal consequences for some of their targets, unable to fly with oil-soaked plumage. Fulmars breed on coastal ledges and grassy slopes around Iceland, Norway, Spitsbergen, Britain, and Russia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498244683691-R0IRJD40FVVWWBI3EF6F/Arctic-Tern.jpg Shetland Islands Arctic tern. Famous longest-distance migrants, arctic terns can travel more than 22,000 miles (35,000 km) in a round-trip yearly between far northern nesting grounds in summer and northern winters as far south as Antarctica, probably seeing more daylight than any other living creature. Circumpolar, they nest through northern Europe, Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Russia, Greenland, and across Canada to Alaska and Siberia. Long, 33-inch (84 cm) swallow-like wings are, appropriately, their striking physical feature, almost twice as long as their bodies, with legs so short they can walk only with a mouse-like glide, and when standing, they appear to be crouching. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/st-kilda daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg St. Kilda https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/spain daily 0.75 2019-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498241883547-OL17U7Q3SH67J0YL8EZG/image-asset.gif Spain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498241692574-3PWAM5287LFO0V3RQNKL/image-asset.gif Spain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498241862912-TVN7SONPXWDRRIJWQAW7/image-asset.gif Spain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498241753661-DE1IGZA3X4SK9CMK3UJ2/image-asset.png Spain https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/united-kingdom daily 0.75 2019-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498244050335-PBQXUXZHPLIMQH7DJAWT/image-asset.gif United Kingdom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498243955954-CDAX62ND8XR168U6WEBE/image-asset.gif United Kingdom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498243995713-W0HHCS2VMOGCT8NX8WR9/image-asset.png United Kingdom https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498244078012-IMIZCAR0QGZHIUQMYTK7/image-asset.gif United Kingdom https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/doana-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Doñana National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498243721688-Q6YX0LL1HRICSUEADN18/image-asset.jpeg Doñana National Park Black storks—more than three feet tall (100cm) with red beaks, legs and feet and wingspans up to 81 inches (205cm)—nest deep in old forests, so silent and retiring they are seldom seen, despite enormous nests. Built by both pair members, often near a marshy forest clearing, nests can measure five feet (1.5 m) across and a yard (1 m) deep. Spain’s population has been resident and stable, isolated while elsewhere in Europe, the largely migratory species was driven near extinction by habitat destruction and pollution.

Heartbeats in midwinter can fall to eight an hour. This works out well for birth of young, since mating occurs in summer but fertilized eggs are not implanted to start growing until hibernation begins. This way they are born in midwinter, naked and blind, weighing 7–16 ounces (200–450 g) each, smallest birth weight relative to adult size of any placental mammal—but by the time they emerge from dens, they’re ready to follow mothers around. Black bears range throughout North America, from frozen tundra to Florida Everglades. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/banff-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Banff National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1498766884819-O4ZYS06GE8HMOUY9X2TM/image-asset.jpeg Banff National Park Elk males yearly grow ponderous antlers weighing up to 40 pounds (18 kg) used to attract and vigorously defend harems during mating.

In spring they will reawaken, mate, and their descendants will return to the same places their ancestors came from—exactly how, no one knows—but the next generation will make the same miraculous-seeming journey the following year. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/celestun-and-rio-lagartos-national-parks daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Celestun and Rio Lagartos National Parks https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/el-vizcaino-biosphere-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg El Vizcaino Biosphere Reserve https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/sian-kaan-biosphere-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/river-of-raptors daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/alaska daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/arctic-national-wildlife-refuge daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499358830390-TVR1MN1XGAIS5FM80N7M/image-asset.gif Arctic National Wildlife Refuge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499358660347-41R9LM0134Y9VBFDZN9N/Snowy-Owl.jpg Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Alaskan brown bears, same species as grizzly bears found through Canada and parts of the northern U.S. and Eurasia, reach their largest size in Alaska—world’s largest land carnivores, up to 10 feet (3+ m) long, weighing more than a half-ton, with 10x16-inch (25x40 cm) hind pawprints. This is attributed partly to their rich seafood diet there, especially on spawning salmon which swim upstream by the millions as bears are emerging lean and hungry from hibernation. They may consume 35 pounds (16 kg) or more a day, taking advantage of this nourishing fare during its brief abundance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499358616834-ML2OZ1QH9IO3ZAQTQZCZ/image-asset.jpeg Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Dense feathers cover all but sharp, curved claws of snowy owls, maintaining body heat of 100oF (38–40oC) when temperatures plummet in their circumpolar tundra habitat to –60oF (–52oC). Standing 20–27 inches (50–68 cm) with wingspans more than twice that, they locate prey by hearing—stiff feather discs direct faintest sounds to ear openings—plus overlapping binocular vision with light-gathering properties many times that of humans’, and flexible necks that swivel for a 270-degree view. Prey varies widely but they rely most on lemmings, especially when nesting, so when these crash every few years, owls temporarily move south. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499358775007-FANGC62MMY7GSKOAMJN3/image-asset.gif Arctic National Wildlife Refuge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Arctic National Wildlife Refuge https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/denali-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499359172742-O7FCT1H59RUAFZYFK62T/image-asset.jpeg Denali National Park The power and strength of grizzly or brown bears—the names are interchangeable—are legendary around the world. A first-hand account tells of one “running full-tilt down a mountainside with a 300-pound bighorn sheep in its jaws, the sheep’s legs flapping like a man’s tie in the wind.” Another tells of one killing a large black bear in Yellowstone National Park with a single blow that knocked its victim against a tree five yards away. As if showing the confidence engendered by such power, this mother grizzly lies vulnerably on her side to nurse her cubs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Denali National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kodiak-island-national-wildlife-refuge daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499359728411-1AXWA78KZXZUUZ3UJDRS/image-asset.jpeg Kodiak Island National Wildlife Refuge Graceful, frolicsome river otters spend a third of their time in water, muscular, torpedo-shaped bodies protected by coarse guard hairs over dense undercoats that keep them snug and waterproof in all seasons. Small ears and nostrils automatically close and pulse slows to a tenth of normal 170 beats a minute to conserve oxygen so they can stay under more than four minutes at depths of 60 feet (18 m) or more. Britain's King James I kept a pack of tame otters to catch fish for his table. However, studies show they catch mainly non-game fish, thereby strengthening game fish stocks. Found in well-watered habitat north of Mexico. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Kodiak Island National Wildlife Refuge https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/katmai-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Katmai National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/yukon-delta-national-wildlife-refuge daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499359957385-6P13NGWJV9J1J7SRLJRU/image-asset.jpeg Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge Gray foxes are only member of the canid or dog family that can climb trees. Strong hooked claws and short powerful legs enable them to scramble up trees and leap agilely from limb to limb, catching squirrels, raiding birds’ nests, dining on ripe fruit—they are omnivorous—sometimes dropping on small animal prey from above, if necessary pursuing them at speeds up to 28 miles an hour (45 kph). They range over broadleaf woodlands and rocky or brushy areas from southern Canada to northern South America. Cubs are born in underground dens or rock crevices, sometimes in trees, and are able to hunt on their own at four months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499960983844-2W6V1DWZVFX3PXD5DC14/image-asset.jpeg Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge Minks’ high-energy, nervous dispositions are such they appear always on the verge either of departing at top speed or pouncing on some luckless victim. Voracious killers, they eat everything they kill and kill almost anything up to and including (sometimes exceeding) hares—fish, frogs, clams, snakes, rats, squirrels, muskrats, birds— all go to nourish a rich brown fur world-renowned for its beauty. North American mink range along watercourses across the continent. European mink, slightly smaller, usually with white patches on upper lip, historically ranged through Europe east into Russia. However, naturalized American mink, fur farm escapees, in some places have supplanted European mink. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/bosque-del-apache-national-wildlife-refuge-texas daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge (Texas) https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/bear-river-national-wildlife-refuge-utah daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Bear River National Wildlife Refuge (Utah) https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/grand-teton-national-park-wyoming daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499367003881-67HJ75TWXW3TI36K5W4K/image-asset.jpeg Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming) Few animals have survived more human persecution than coyotes—everything from flamethrowers to strychnine—because of real or imagined encroachment on human activities. Such is the adaptability and resourcefulness of these keen-sensed “little wolves,” that they can run almost 40 miles an hour (64 kph), eat anything from small mammals, insects, reptiles, to fruits, berries and carrion, and breed with both domestic dogs and wolves. They not only have survived persecution, but extended their range over much of North America from eastern Alaska and New England, south through Mexico and Panama. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Grand Teton National Park (Wyoming) https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/aransas-national-wildlife-refuge-texas daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (Texas) https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/western-states daily 0.75 2018-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499364821074-LPK6DB7K1RAPG05OAMVJ/image-asset.gif Western States https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499364718353-V6HFO0PM4OVERK8JZL5R/Denver_T2.gif Western States https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/olympic-national-park-washington daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Olympic National Park (Washington) https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/glacierwaterton-lakes-international-peace-park-montana daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499366409405-O93IKXC9U39KVKVBQE1D/image-asset.jpeg Glacier-Waterton Lakes International Peace Park (Montana) Bighorn sheep are known for dramatic head-to-head clashes between males in which rams equipped with curled horns weighing 30 pounds or more (14 kg) crash into rivals at speeds up to 20 miles an hour (32 kph) for 24 hours or more, ending when one ram concedes. To protect themselves in these duels males have evolved double-layered skulls supported by bony struts plus massive tendons linking skulls to spines to help heads pivot and recoil from blows. Shock-absorbing elastic pads enable them to leap 20 feet (6 m) or so along rocky ledges just two inches (5 cm) wide. Once numerous in the American west, they are now endangered victims of human activities such as overhunting, trophy collection, and depletion of water holes.

https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499368104492-U5QUVL2KFUZWBUTOLMHF/image-asset.jpeg Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming) Mule deer are named for their remarkable ears, nearly a foot long and half-foot wide (30 × 15 cm) which move constantly and independently, working like dish antennae, gathering even faint sounds, helping them detect predators at great distances. They may then perform a stiff-legged bound called “stotting,” bringing all four feet off the air simultaneously in a pogo stick-like leap up to eight feet (2.4m) high for an elevated view of terrain. They can turn bodies completely around in mid-air and start off “stotting” in the opposite direction in great bounds up to 28 feet (9 m) long reaching speeds of 45 miles an hour (72 kph). Mule deer are found throughout the western United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499368172447-D68525Z668811TMCDKOT/image-asset.jpeg Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming) Porcupines cannot throw their 30,000 quills, as sometimes said, but it can seem they do, so easily do these needle-sharp modified hairs detach at a predator’s touch. Loosely attached to a layer of voluntary muscles, they drive forcefully into an adversary’s skin, where body heat causes microscopic barbs to expand and become embedded. Wounds may fester and cause death or blindness in a vital place or starvation if driven into the mouth. But their fatty flesh makes them a tempting quarry, and some, especially fishers, have learned to flip them over to get at unprotected undersides. But even fishers can suffer fatal injury. Found in wooded or scrubby areas through Canada and northern U.S., south in the west to Mexico. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/the-everglades-florida daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499372041799-4UXRM7IC1CJM7YDQ76T6/Anhinga.jpg The Everglades (Florida) Anhingas control air bladders in their bodies so they can ride high in water or low with only waving heads and necks showing, looking like “snakebirds”, which is what they are often called. Hinge-like neck vertebrae help them strike instantly to spear watery prey, which they toss up to swallow head-first. In courtship, feathers flare so their small heads seem to double in size around electric blue-turquoise eye rings as they croak, rattle and sometimes entwine necks with mates in wetlands from Everglades National Park south, occasionally as far as Argentina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499371874154-5YD989HT6VI5CRN3QB76/image-asset.jpeg The Everglades (Florida) Formidable survivors of the age of dinosaurs, alligators can weigh up to a record half-ton. Powerful jaws come equipped with 74–80 teeth and enough replacements so one ’gator can go through up to 3,000 teeth in a lifetime. Yet females are gentle, aggressively vigilant mothers until hatchlings are fully 18 months old. Once endangered, populations have rebounded with protection so they can be found now in freshwater lakes, ponds, rivers, and wetlands over much of their former range in the southern U.S. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499372370203-BA7OAEK3OL8AFOLN8NU9/image-asset.jpeg The Everglades (Florida) Mountain lions, known also as Florida panthers, cougars, pumas—same species—have the largest range of any New World cat, from southern Argentina to southeastern Alaska. Powerful rear leg muscles with proportionately the longest legs of any cat give them extraordinary jumping abilities. Running broad jumps can be over 45 feet (14 m) and vertical leaps up to 15 feet (5 m). This makes them efficient predators on animals as large as moose, exploding from a hidden crouch to seize prey in two or three bounds, usually breaking a victim’s neck with a single powerful bite at the base of the skull. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499372171026-FPY5FAUX53OEX78BICB5/image-asset.jpeg The Everglades (Florida) Gentle-looking painted buntings will battle to the death over territories. Courtship displays combine elaborate feather-fluffing and moth-like flights with deep shuddering quivers—all this seldom seen except by mates due to the bird’s preference for dense understory along streams and forest edges. They summer in southeastern U.S. and Texas, winter as far south as Panama and Central America, where sweet songs and colorful plumage have led to their widespread capture and sale as caged birds. This has led to population declines so they are listed now in some locales as a species of special concern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499371925656-ND9ZSGTI66Z5PL3GZBJW/image-asset.jpeg The Everglades (Florida) American crocodiles can seem sleepily unaware but they are fearsome hunters that run on land up to 11 miles an hour (17.6 kph), swim up to 20 miles an hour (32 kph), stay underwater up to an hour and cruise about seeing both above and under water. They differ from alligators in being shyer and more reclusive, preferring salt or brackish to freshwater, with pointed, not rounded, noses, and teeth visible even when jaws are closed. They need warmer climates, hence their range from southern Florida and the Caribbean through Mexico and along the Central American coast to Venezuela. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499371805942-F4D0NGGH3YBNMPKFGS64/image-asset.jpeg The Everglades (Florida) Bald eagles can see fish swimming in water from several hundred feet up (100+ m) and dive on them at speeds over 100 miles an hour (160 kph). If necessary they can swim a butterfly-stroke until they get enough lift to take off again. They return to the same nest yearly, adding to it until it becomes huge— one on record was nine feet (3 m) across and weighed two tons. “Bald” comes not from lack of feathers but an Old English word, balde, meaning white. Once endangered from pesticide use and habitat loss, their status with improved conditions has been raised to threatened over much of their North American range. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg The Everglades (Florida) https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/okefenokee-national-wildlife-refuge-floridageorgia daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499433512222-HVRCJM3PD3RR65DYVHN9/image-asset.jpeg Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge (Florida-Georgia) No other bird is mistaken for the flame-crested pileated woodpecker—larger than any other in North America—with flashing black-and-white wingpatches and ringing, cackling call. Their rolling tattoo followed by heavy, deliberate drumming reverberates like a giant hammer through tall, old forest trees of their preferred habitat. Favored foods are carpenter ants and wood-boring beetles chiseled out deep in wood by their powerful bills. New nest cavities are excavated yearly, usually with recognizably angular holes, in wooded tracts across Canada, south through eastern U.S. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge (Florida-Georgia) https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/islands daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/newfoundlandgros-morne-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499882738084-DZK3KMEOV0AAMBX0MGKV/image-asset.gif Newfoundland-Gros Morne National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499878931804-1DT84H8BRTK5BZVNVXZ0/image-asset.jpeg Newfoundland-Gros Morne National Park Nowhere in nature are predator-prey destinies more intertwined than furry lynx and snowshoe hares, which closely resemble one another in dense pelage and broad, spreading hairy paws, able to support both species in snow. When hare numbers rise, lynx females ovulate more, mate more often, more successfully, and have larger litters of which more survive. When hare numbers plummet, lynx decline and so do their offspring, even when alternate prey is available. Lynx live deep in coniferous forests and mountains of Canada and the northern United States.Arctic fox fur has the highest insulation value of any mammal, useful in treeless arctic tundras where they live in Eurasia, North America, Iceland, and Greenland. Soles of their feet are covered entirely with fur—hence their scientific name, LAGOPUS or “rabbit foot.” Small, rounded ears restrict heat loss. Long, thick, bushy tails reach around them like fur stoles when they curl up to sleep, able to endure temperatures of –70oF (–60oC). No other canid species lives so far north. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499882436175-QRHOTLMM46HW1ZY8CAI5/image-asset.gif Newfoundland-Gros Morne National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Newfoundland-Gros Morne National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/gwaii-haanas-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Gwaii Haanas National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/british-columbia daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/northwest-territories daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/prince-albert-national-park daily 0.75 2019-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499886139923-YT9BOG2WAX101DMP7HT4/image-asset.jpeg Prince Albert National Park Massive American bison or buffalo once formed the largest mass of animals ever to roam the earth—an estimated 60 million of them, bearded bulls with high humped shoulders and short, sharp upcurved horns standing six feet (2 m) at the shoulder, weighing more than a ton, running 30 miles an hour (48 kph). Within a few decades wild populations were almost gone, many lost to drive-by “sport” shooting by railroad car passengers, their bodies left to rot on the prairie. Luckily a remnant herd was saved and a reserve set aside for them, and they thrive now in Prince Albert National Park and elsewhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Prince Albert National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/saskatchewan daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/yukon-territory daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kluane-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Kluane National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/wood-buffalo-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Wood Buffalo National Park https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1499886848854-FC4NTBK5VZHPUAM9ZRZG/image-asset.jpeg Wood Buffalo National Park Whooping cranes are America’s most beloved endangered species, partly for their majestic, snow-white beauty and ringing call, that of “no mere bird,” said naturalist Aldo Leopold, but “symbol of our untamable past”—and partly their perilfraught lives. Twice yearly these tallest North American birds, standing five feet (1.5 m) with eight-foot (2.6 m) wingspans, fly 2,500 hazardous miles (4,300 km) between remote nesting grounds in Canada’s Wood Buffalo National Park, threatened by industrial development, and winter quarters in Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas, vulnerable to passing tankers’ oil spills. In between they are still occasionally shot or die colliding with power lines.

They may live more than 100 years, filling the ecological niche of elephants in Africa and Asia, using elephantine hind legs to knock over trees to get at foliage, clearing forest paths for others. More than 150,000 of them live on Aldabra, largest raised coral atoll in the world and among the most ancient, in the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Aldabra https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/gough-island-united-kingdom daily 0.75 2019-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500041310863-V9X5CJ1FH6WKSIVYJT0X/image-asset.gif Gough Island (United Kingdom) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500041425359-A7ZTIJDT8GV6HAZKJ70G/Gough-Island_T2.gif Gough Island (United Kingdom) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1507816312245-9PF1AV05QEC5AOBTVWZU/Gough-Island-Map.gif Gough Island (United Kingdom) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500041449296-ZJ4F55F7TZS8VV6033Y1/image-asset.gif Gough Island (United Kingdom) https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/argentina daily 0.75 2019-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500054519984-XF7CV4GX83CI245KQEU9/image-asset.png Argentina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500054668045-Y4GF2YNVKBE7Q6THHAQK/image-asset.gif Argentina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500054646576-1PGRYJUGQ1SS5AZJZN6P/image-asset.gif Argentina https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/south-america daily 0.75 2021-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500051456177-YTN0F6QJBH4KIVEX4FSP/image-asset.jpeg South America https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/valle-de-mai daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Vallée De Mai https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/ambor-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Amboró National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/punta-tombo daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Punta Tombo https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/brazil daily 0.75 2019-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500321115892-8HPRQNRMWHBIL75S67VM/image-asset.gif Brazil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500320907452-FYL02UCRQ7CR01FEEXG9/image-asset.gif Brazil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500321138794-92109Z6O2B5QNVCD569X/image-asset.gif Brazil https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500321012695-53YWWMUVCSWB1Z6HMMSX/image-asset.png Brazil https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/madidi-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Madidi National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/bolivia daily 0.75 2019-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500317351712-ILHV9M7A74KP2K4PTSI4/image-asset.gif Bolivia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500317436780-41Z9F5PV8PAFEXIT391X/image-asset.gif Bolivia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500317209425-UP7E1BKSQM5S2IV1CBOJ/image-asset.png Bolivia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500317317249-1QF76JBEKF8KIN5BTNRU/image-asset.gif Bolivia https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/noel-kempff-mercado-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Noel Kempff Mercado National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/beni-biosphere-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Beni Biosphere Reserve https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/valdez-peninsula daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500316424312-76D0VG99A3CGOOX8575Z/image-asset.jpeg Valdez Peninsula Sunset-plumaged roseate spoonbills are named for uniquely spatulate bills that they swing back and forth to snap up fish, crustaceans and large insects in mangrove marshes and lagoons. They’re equally useful for males seeking to attract mates by clapping these bills resoundingly to show off ability to gather useful nesting material. Once endangered by popularity of their feathers in ladies’ fans, they’re now protected over much of their range in coastal South America, the Caribbean and southern United States, threatened mainly by habitat destruction for tourist development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500316470962-AIVMTYZVIS6I3J9UB9PZ/Roseate-Spoonbill.jpg Valdez Peninsula Great dusky swifts astonishingly fly headlong through plunging cataracts of Iguazú waterfalls (Iguaçu in Brazil)—but these little birds are aerodynamic wonders. Swifts are fastest birds in the world, with long, narrow, pointed wings, feeding on aerial insects, able even to mate, sleep and spend nights on the wing. They cut through the falls at such great speeds, turning on their sides momentarily to present almost no water resistance, that they are unaffected by the torrent. On the other side they cling to vertical cliffs with curved, sharp toenails supported by tarsal calluses and rigid tails and build cuplike nests glued together with spittle from extra-large salivary glands, safe from predators, for no one else can do what they do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1508622101936-XX8G4V492H6M6XKP3PTY/image-asset.jpeg Valdez Peninsula https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/mata-atlantica-biosphere-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500323033775-0Q2DNUW6RB44S16YYKG5/image-asset.jpeg Mata Atlantica Biosphere Reserve Woolly spider monkeys, or muriquis, are largest New World primates and one of the world’s rarest and most endangered. Opposable thumbs are almost absent but long, muscular tails, up to 32 inches (80 cm), almost one-and-a-half times their body length, serve almost as fifth hands. They hang by them, climb with them, grasp and hold food and other objects with them. Because of their extreme rarity, their habits are little known—but one characteristic repeatedly observed is their gentleness and lack of aggression, reinforced by constant hugging, between the same and opposite sexes as well as all infants in their social group. Their range is restricted to Atlantic coastal mountain forests of Brazil, habitat greatly reduced by deforestation and clearing. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/iguau-falls daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Iguaçu Falls https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/pantanal-2 daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Pantanal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500401279351-VL9N900O40F5LEY672BX/image-asset.jpeg Pantanal Giant river otters’ metabolism— 20 per cent higher than most similarly sized animals—keeps them alert for location of prey, predators, family, and everything else in their world, with quick reactions to match. It makes it possible—also necessary because of high-energy demands—to dart with webbed feet after swiftswimming fish or, for extra boost, folding feet and legs to become speeding torpedoes, propelled by ridged, flattened tails almost half their sinuous, up-to-six foot (1.8m) length. Once wide-ranging in the Amazon basin, they remain rare due to poaching for velvety chocolate-brown fur, habitat disturbance, and pollution. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/santa-marta-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500476363624-DMBBXSU94FLXG4PW1SIL/image-asset.jpeg Santa Marta National Park Cock-of-the-rock males, heads enveloped in scarlet-orange plumage covering all but their eyes, give a show for females on a communal courtship lek where a dozen or more gather in deep mountainous forest and serially perform. One dances, tossing his head, calling, spreading wings and tail, hopping on one foot, then another, posing dramatically for moments at a time, and finally retiring to let another take his turn. A grayish female shows herself, and all males as if signaled drop to the ground and wait until she flutters down and pecks one on his rump. He hesitates as if stunned by his good fortune, then hops on her back for a quick mating. Then she’s off, to handle the rest herself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Santa Marta National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/serrania-de-la-macarena-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Serrania De La Macarena National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/chile daily 0.75 2019-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500469407430-1MQ7UXJD38DSOL99Q4GB/image-asset.gif Chile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500469542764-UWA7470MQAEF9NJ8ETD0/image-asset.gif Chile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500469562261-BJ7AIIKAIRBHV131KC8T/image-asset.gif Chile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500558219788-IZGTCN2XBVN1OYD26WUT/image-asset.png Chile https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/colombia daily 0.75 2019-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500473824254-J5N1ZXDB56SYKL6WH6YN/image-asset.gif Colombia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500472538856-ALAELIXF65KVFUF6ZRGU/image-asset.gif Colombia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500558117057-OW4Q0UEG8RZECXP57XRU/image-asset.png Colombia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500473798482-XY7H5J5A4EDGUSQCYPYF/image-asset.gif Colombia https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/torres-del-paine-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500471720889-J19GJARSJK5T3PALXR7P/image-asset.jpeg Torres Del Paine National Park Magellan’s sailors first saw these penguins in 1520 and named them after their captain.

Responsive females mimic this and soon the pair are goose-stepping together, ritualistically picking up twigs for an imaginary nest. They actually lay eggs on bare ground, warming them with webbed feet, swiveling during the day to shield them from direct sun, defecating as they do, thereby forming a round guano nest boundary within which young must stay. Some 10,000 blue-footed boobies live on the Galapagos Islands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500481211449-RZRZ3HOKOCI1GWMQ5L2G/image-asset.jpeg Galapagos National Park Frigatebirds are unmistakable among seabirds, great black cut-outs soaring against the sky— equally distinctive later when males attract mates by inflating throat pouches into spectacular crimson balloons which they keep expanded through much of the breeding cycle. Frigatebirds come to land only to nest, often on coastal and remote islands such as the Galapagos, Ascension and Aldabra, raising a single chick with the same feisty disposition as its parents, able early to protect itself while they’re out foraging—which they notoriously do by pirating other birds’ catches. But there’s a reason: frigates have smaller oil glands, so dropping into water would run risk of saturating plumage and becoming un-airworthy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500481105137-VU25817PIC5U1MUP1TH6/image-asset.jpeg Galapagos National Park The Galapagos archipelago, made up of 13 major islands, six minor ones and 42 named islets plus scores of unnamed smaller rocks and islets, is Ecuador’s preeminent national park and indeed one of the preeminent in the world, not only because of Darwin’s famous observations but for the creatures that inspired them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Galapagos National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/ecuador daily 0.75 2019-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500477702172-RSBYXP71B4E9SRSMZ42U/Ecuador_T2.gif Ecuador https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500558057384-2AQUCNOS2LEJSIOJD974/image-asset.png Ecuador https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500477725525-6UTP7CP0I5NM7SSX8NAN/image-asset.gif Ecuador https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500477662527-CNT34ZBDSJEFH9W0BBRL/image-asset.gif Ecuador https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500477610311-7ESQ11W2CWX4EL7UFWFD/image-asset.jpeg Ecuador Flightless cormorants of the Galapagos Islands have lost much of the breastbone keel that supports flight muscles in other birds. They make up for it with heavier, stronger legs and feet that propel them through water with powerful kicks to capture squid, octopus, eels and bottom-living fish in rich upwellings of cold Cromwell and Humboldt currents off Fernandina and Isabela islands, their only homes. After fishing, they hang their skimpy vestigial wings out to dry as do other cormorants, obeying ancestral orders that no longer apply to their situation. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/paraguay daily 0.75 2019-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500557956760-DKBOAXD111CLWQX1K06J/image-asset.png Paraguay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500491098318-3AQWI2L8T547F0I0P3DE/image-asset.gif Paraguay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500490989308-2I041YL0VMPHDNR4T5K5/image-asset.jpeg Paraguay Wood storks may forage up to 25 miles (40 km) from their nests, spreading broad wings and gliding on thermals with little energy expenditure.

They use these along with the ability to swim when danger approaches, plunging from the nest (usually over water), and swimming away, using their claws to climb back up after danger has passed. Both these skills are lost in adulthood. The birds are the modern-day counterparts of hoatzin fossils found from Oligocene times, and they have yet another unique aspect: a cow-like vegetarian digestive system based on fermentation, that gives them permanent bad breath. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500491071566-B91VB5MT6XDNEXTWDTMI/image-asset.gif Peru https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500491452578-0GUICPEYNUOT36ANYNIW/image-asset.gif Peru https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500491098318-3AQWI2L8T547F0I0P3DE/image-asset.gif Peru https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/canaima-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Canaima National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/manu-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Manu National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/venezuela daily 0.75 2019-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500557848203-DLYGHUK6JDFRBNZSRBGZ/image-asset.png Venezuela https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500496480742-DJ8V7DHJ3YHDP9E9YIC7/image-asset.gif Venezuela https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500496501690-QZG2QEDG9A1YZJQ71JNB/image-asset.gif Venezuela https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500496296273-QSD1CVIW5QKTSNI7QWV1/image-asset.gif Venezuela https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/australia daily 0.75 2019-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500504197283-0Q96AJJF8AMTCX8JH045/image-asset.gif Australia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500504048913-V7UGFJNPJX2S984KFSNN/image-asset.gif Australia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500502955439-EOWJGZS3HTYYHCWLEQXR/image-asset.gif Australia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500503062104-PF11CZ6NV2OV933KVALH/image-asset.png Australia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500503246740-3Q5O30Q80W17GW4RDIGI/image-asset.jpeg Australia Red Kangaroos are the largest living marsupials, six feet tall (1.8 m) with heavy four-foot-long (1.2 m) tails on which they rely for balance and self-defense, stabilizing them while they kick out with formidable hind legs. With these legs they jump up to six feet (1.8 m), covering up to 29 feet in a bound, and run up to 35 miles per hour in short bursts. Their few enemies include introduced dingo dogs and sheep farmers who shoot them on sight to keep off grazing land (they won't jump over tall fencing but this is regarded a prohibitively costly). Red kangaroos range over scrublands in Australia's central areas, where their coloring camouflages them against red outback soil, but they can vary from red to gray. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/henri-pittier-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500499378300-RU3QBGLT1RI5WS4Y05I1/image-asset.jpeg Henri Pittier National Park Roseate spoonbills like to be with others of their kind.

So tightly do they attach themselves to their mother’s breasts that the first European who saw these small kangaroos, Dutch sea captain Francisco Pelsaert in 1629, thought the young grew from their mother’s mammary glands. Tammars can survive drinking almost no water, thereby conserving nitrogen, making it possible for them to thrive in near-desert conditions with scanty, protein-poor vegetation. https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/kangaroo-island daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Kangaroo Island https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/tasmanian-wilderness daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500566149597-1YHNU5LUXEEJH7P2LT9Q/image-asset.jpeg Tasmanian Wilderness Tasmanian devils’ reputation for ferocity comes from formidable jaws, able to crush all but largest bones so they completely consume carcasses, plus their habit of gaping with every tooth bared, often with growls and high-pitched spine-chilling screams. Usually this reflects fear and uncertainty more than aggression. They are shy, mild-mannered, even affectionate, better at consuming carrion than killing prey. Early stories of savage dispositions resulted, it’s now felt, from cruel mistreatment. Small bear-like marsupials, they nurture young in backward-facing pouches. Driven to extinction in Australia, they’ve been protected in Tasmania since 1941 and are fairly common, especially in Cradle Mountain National Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Tasmanian Wilderness https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/shark-bay daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1487009187953-9T1I2BKR7Q6VSI9D19HP/image-asset.jpeg Shark Bay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1500565905240-SUG3Q8OL1STKCR6YJJM8/image-asset.jpeg Shark Bay Leichhardt’s grasshoppers are thought by ancient peoples of Arnhem Land in Australia’s Northern Territory to be Alyurr, children of a powerful ancestral being, called Lightning Man Namarrgon, due to their appearance in full adult coloring during peak November/December lightning season.

Except for mating, males are more often heard than seen, their “long calls” roaring through trees, produced by over-sized throat sacs that can take in several liters of air. These normally small sacs are found in humans to be enlarged in trumpeters, bass singers and Muslim prayer callers.

The vibrating is front and back claws digging furiously while side spines do their part, a move to ward off predators. Echidnas are, with platypi, world’s only monotremes or egglaying mammals. They carry their single rubbery egg and young in a pouch, lactating and feeding the puggle or young echidna until it’s ejected at two months when its spines, actually modified hairs, become too prickly to tote that way.

Young hatch in brilliant mixed tropical colors, from yellow to brisk-red, all in the same clutch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501174765099-RMA6RGOMI4O4M1S9846I/image-asset.gif Papua New Guinea https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/philippines daily 0.75 2019-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501177492437-6487AUE1Z9LN7ZLS9DCJ/image-asset.gif Philippines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501177632201-NY7ABSFA10KXEYFTK44N/image-asset.gif Philippines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501177655886-I9CPGVTRJFVYAIPON6M0/image-asset.gif Philippines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501177540685-69MFWUJOW8O61G4ILXJR/image-asset.png Philippines https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/mount-apo-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501180439599-YNL32QPVAZ2TEMN9VVDP/image-asset.jpeg Mount Apo National Park Estuarine or Australian saltwater crocodiles, world’s largest reptiles and most aggressive and dangerous of the crocodiles, are superb swimmers, known to travel 600 miles or more (1,000 km) by sea. Some ocean-going adult males, up to 20 feet (6m) long, weighing up to a ton (1,000 kg), have barnacles on their scales. So despite their name, they’ve reached and settled throughout Southeast Asia and are equally at home in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501166994621-QRYMF14S5OZFAD8KNUKY/-1.jpg Mount Apo National Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/st-pauls-subterranean-river-national-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/tubbataha-reefs-marine-park daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501166994621-QRYMF14S5OZFAD8KNUKY/-1.jpg Tubbataha Reefs Marine Park https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/other-palawan-reserves daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/palawan-biosphere-reserve daily 0.75 2017-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1501166994621-QRYMF14S5OZFAD8KNUKY/-1.jpg Palawan Biosphere Reserve https://www.worldwidesafariguide.org/botswana daily 0.75 2021-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1493040242269-W0OEBV6CCFT9TD580LGF/image-asset.gif Botswana https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f4c4d9e4b0f42f5a9f731e/1481643617196-8CZ7TR58O2IVBOKQECS4/Botswana-Okavango.jpg Botswana Water in the Okavango, world’s largest inland river delta, is purified to drinking quality by its waving expanses of head-high gold-green papyrus reeds.
