  • A highly territorial male reticulated glass frog (Hyalinobatrachium valerioi) assumes the classic guard posture, facing the eggs with one hand on the clutch, to protect them from wasps and other predators. The white dot pattern on his skin is thought to mimic the egg mass, with the intent of drawing attention away from the vulnerable clutch and towards the male who is defending them. Selva Verde Rainforest Reserve, Costa Rica.

  • A greater sac-winged bat (Saccopteryx bilineata) smiles for the camera. An insectivore native to Central and South America, it is commonly found in or on the outside of hollow trees. The term "sac-winged" refers to small pouches on the bats wings that are used by males to attract females and to mark their harem territory. The males will fill these sacs with glandular secretions, and during mating displays the male will use his wings to fan the female vigorously and expose her to the scent mixture in the wing sacs. Males will also shake the contents of the sac towards bats outside of the male's harem territory to warn off intruders. Selva Verde Rainforest Reserve, Costa Rica.
