photo by @joelsartore | Meet the largest species of gecko, the giant day gecko, photographed at the Sedgwick County Zoo (@sedgwickcountyzoo) in Wichita, Kansas. Originating from Madagascar, these reptiles are most commonly found in the trees of tropical rainforests, where they use their adhesive toe pads to climb even the smoothest of surfaces. Please follow me, @joelsartore, to see more species from the #PhotoArk. #photooftheday #joelsartore by natgeo http://ift.tt/1NDYput

Photograph by @thomaspeschak For more than half the year the western edge of Oman’s Arabian sea coast is bathed in warm water. The seabed is carpeted in corals and alive with colorful reef fish. However when the southeastern monsoon begins to blow in June the water cools rapidly and seasonal algae and kelp forests begin to grow quickly. The corals survive beneath the seaweed fronds, but it is always a curious sight to encounter porcupine and other coral reef fish swimming through undersea forests of kelp.

@natgeo Photograph by @cookjenshel The Battle of Antietam began at dawn on September 17, 1862. It remains the bloodiest single day in American military history – 23, 000 lives were lost. The sycamore tree, at the end of the Burnside Bridge is the last living witness of that battle – and is part of our Wise Trees project. The battle was a turning point in the Civil War, providing impetus for President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. @thephotosociety @natgeocreative #WiseTrees #BattleofAntietam #CivilWar #AntietamNationalBattlefield by natgeo http://ift.tt/1P14sGG

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.

Photograph by @thomaspeschak Blacktip Reef sharks are incredibly abundant in the shallows around Aldabra Atoll. 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
