  • 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. Green Iguana Conservation Project , San Ignacio, Belize.

  • Following a resounding thud, this dazed and disoriented baby mantled howler monkey (Alouatta palliata struggles to regain his senses and checks for injuries after falling 30 feet out of the canopy. His mother perched nervously in the shadows above, watched for any signs of movement from the tangled mound of fur and limbs that lay on the rock strewn jungle floor near La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica.<br />

This rarely seen event is not as uncommon as one would expect, and many times the animal does not survive. Most primarily arboreal creatures such as sloths, monkeys, and iguanas live one misstep away from death or injury.<br />
