• Photograph by @paulnicklen for @sea_legacy. A Winged Pteropod, also known as a sea butterfly or sea angel floats around the Barents Sea near Svalbard, Norway. These pteropods are free-swimming snails that use wing-like flaps to navigate through the water column. This one was less than half and inch in diameter. As the ocean becomes more acidic the shells of these mollusks are literally melting.

Many years of protective measures have resulted in one of the most intact marine realms in the Indian Ocean #SIF #conservation #seychelles A feature story on conservation in the Seychelles is scheduled to be published in @natgeo magazine in early 2016.

• Image by @beverlyjoubert. Endangered wild dogs, otherwise known as painted wolves are exceptional and very effective hunters not generally known for scavenging. So we were surprised to find a pack feeding on a giraffe carcass in the Selinda Reserve in Botswana. We don’t know how the giraffe died but had seen a leopard and hyaenas feeding previously. Perhaps it was just too good an opportunity to pass up. #wilddogs #paintedwolves #endangered #botswana #unusualsightings by natgeo http://ift.tt/1W2xREG

• Photo by @BrianSkerry A Bottlenose Dolphin in Florida makes a mud-ring around a school of fish. The fish won’t swim through the mud, but jump over the ring into the waiting mouths of the other dolphins. One of the unique feeding strategies that dolphins have created, demonstrating another way we know they are smart. From the cover story in the May 2015 issue of @natgeo about dolphin intelligence!

• Photograph by Michael Yamashita. @yamashitaphoto. Prescribed burn, Mendham, New Jersey. As a volunteer fireman in a rural Jersey town, we often set fires to prevent the buildup of combustible material when weather conditions are right. Far different from the images of California wild fires I am seeing every morning where drought conditions and high winds have burned up over a hundred thousand acres and consumed hundreds of homes. Over 7000 fire fighters are battling to control one of the most destructive blazes in California history. Pray for rain. #fire #forestfire @natgeocreative @thephotosociety by natgeo http://ift.tt/1W331LV

• Photo taken by @stevemccurryofficial // The sun’s rays reflecting from the dust look like swirls of clouds in front of a Buddhist shrine in Yangon. “Burma is one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia, with decaying infrastructure and an economy that is just now starting to pick up after decades of stagnation. Yet, it boasts one of the highest literacy rates in the region. The reverence for reading is evident when you visit. In Yangon, bookstores or book-lending shops are prominent on seemingly every street. Street vendors bide their time between customers reading news magazines. Book clubs are popular. Libraries such as the American Center and British Council Library have robust book club programs; a young professional and former medical student I spoke with during my last trip there said he and his friends have been involved in book clubs since their university days.” -Wendy Rockett, The Asia Foundation The third annual Irrawaddy Literary Festival, which drew an audience of more than 25,000, took place in March. #Yangon #Burma #WendyRockett #TheAsiaFoundation #Literacy by natgeo http://ift.tt/1KgeJNW

• Photograph by @paulnicklen. This is the most powerful moment I have ever experienced in nature. Just a feet away, dozens of #narwhals lifted their eight foot long ivory tusks towards the sky. Here, they rested and caught a breath before continuing their fish-feeding frenzy under the polar ice. It took me ten years of hard work to finally find this intimate moment with the unicorns of the sea. There were so many narwhals blowing all around me, that the sound was overwhelming. This, combined with the incomparable scene in front of me, made it almost impossible to contain my emotions and photograph through the tears of joy and gratitude. All week, I will be posting my favorite moments in the field as a wildlife photojournalist so please #follow me on @paulnicklen // #gratitude #nature #wildlife #arctic #smile #love #beauty #friends #instagramhub #snow #ice #animals by natgeo http://ift.tt/1iwAujW

It’s like a transformative art piece shown at a scale we could never create on our own. Much gratitude that places of wildness and beauty like this exist. @thephotosociety by natgeo http://ift.tt/1OfPrU1

• Radha, 15, observes herself in a cracked mirror the day before her wedding in the state of Rajasthan, India. Her 5-year-old cousin was married later that night, images of that wedding can be seen on the @tooyoungtowed website. Despite recent advances in the global effort to end child marriage, the practice of marrying girls off at young ages persists in more than 50 countries and spans many cultures and all major religions. National Geographic Magazine featured this village in its June 2011 story on child marriage. Too Young to Wed @tooyoungtowed, a nonprofit I founded not long after our story ran, is now raising funds through a week long sale of hand printed & signed photographic prints. 100% of all proceeds received will support @tooyoungtowed’s programming to help girls in areas where child marriage is rampant. MAKE CHANGE WITH US by purchasing a print before the fundraiser ends on Sept. 20th, visit: http://ift.tt/1EYvkXo.

• Photo by @amivitale #onassignment for @natgeo. One-year-old Jin Bao Bao has gotten the hang of climbing trees at Bifengxia Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center in Sichuan Province, China. Pandas begin learning to climb at 6 months old as a way to avoid predators. They also love to play as they learn to climb and gain independence from their mothers.
