  • A pair of endangered Scarlet Macaws ( Ara macao cyanoptera ) keep watch on their nesting tree near the Raspacullo river, Belize. A subspecies of the Scarlet Macaws in South America (Ara macao macao), there are an estimated 150-200 wild Scarlet Macaws in Belize. In 2003 the controversial Chalillo hydro-electric dam was built, resulting in the flooding of the only known area in Belize where Scarlet Macaws nest. Formed in 2012, the volunteer run and funded Scarlet Six Biomonitoring Team, a small team of community rangers, was formed out of a dire need to help protect the macaw chicks from heavy Guatemalan poaching.  In 2011, almost 90% of the active nests in the area were poached by Guatemalans, this number is now down to 30% due to their regular patroling of the nest sites along the rivers, via boat and on foot, and their very visible presence.

  • The questioning eye of a Chilean flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis) peers out from its tucked resting pose at the LA Zoo in California.<br />
Found in South America from Ecuador to Chile and eastward into Brazil, the Chilean flamingo lives in coastal mudflats, estuaries, lagoons and salt lakes. Primarily feeding on algae, plankton, and brine shrimp, it uses comb-like structures in its bill to filter food from the waters of its habitat.<br />
The flamingo’s pink color is derived from the rich sources of carotenoid pigments in the algae and small crustaceans that the birds eat.

  • The green iguana (Iguana iguana) has parietal eye, or “third eye”, that allows it to detect incoming attacks by flying predators such as hawks and eagles. This parietal eye is located above the centre of its head and appears as a semi-translucent scale in the adult stage. The “third eye” is not able to make sharp or defined images but it is able to collect the shadows of flying predators as they get within close distance.
