赤狐 Red Fox, Denali National Park, Alaska

在阿拉斯加的德纳里国家公园(Denali National Park)，一只赤狐正大张了嘴打着呵欠。狐狸有着很强的适应性，即使在有环境压力的情况下仍能健康成长。它们生活在森林，草原，山区，沙漠，甚至人类环境中，如农场和郊区。它们单独捕猎鼠类，兔子，鸟类等，有时也以其它的小猎物如鱼，青蛙，蚯蚓和垃圾等为食。

In Alaska’s Denali National Park, a red fox opens wide for a yawn. Foxes are masters of adaptation, allowing them to thrive despite environmental pressures. They live in forests, grasslands, mountains, deserts, and even human environments such as farms and suburban areas. They are solitary hunters that feed on rodents, rabbits, birds, small game-even fish, frogs, worms, and garbage.
肩毛果蝠 Fruit Bats at Dusk, Zambia

　　在赞比亚的卢安瓜山谷里，肩毛果蝠在夕阳染成绛红色的天空下飞舞。在雨季，泛滥的卢安瓜河水将从两岸溢出，将这片炎热干燥，尘土飞扬的大地变成郁郁葱葱的野生动物天堂。届时数百万的蝙蝠来到山谷中的树上栖息，以数量剧增的水果为食。

　　Epauletted fruit bats speckle a saffron-colored sky at sunset in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley. Millions of these bats come to roost in the valley’s trees and feed off the explosion of fruits during the rainy season, when the Luangwa River overflows its banks and transforms the dry, dusty landscape into an emerald wildlife paradise.

落在树叶上带斑纹的蟋蟀 Striped Cricket on Leaf, Southeast Asia

在一片东南亚的森林里，星条交汇在这张蟋蟀的夜景照片中(译注：星条指代美国国旗)。无论世界上的任何丛林里，夕阳下沉之后，树林中较常见的生物沉睡之时，罕见的生物们便纷纷出来滑行，跳跃和蜂鸣。

Stripes meet stars in this night shot of a cricket in a Southeast Asian forest. In jungles throughout the world, the sinking sun summons a menagerie of rarely seen creatures that slither, leap, and buzz while the forest’s more familiar creatures sleep.

Forty tons of gleaming muscle, a humpback whale blasts out of the water near South Africa.

Scientists believe they communicate and attract mates through song.
