  • Lichen, a coyote (Canis latrans), smiles with joy as Thompson gives him the love he truly deserves. Thompson, an Iraq war combat veteran, is a member of the Wolves and Warriors program at Lockwood Animal Rescue Center (Lockwood ARC / LARC). The program is devoted to military men and women suffering with PTSD and survivors’ guilt, and enables veterans to work side by side caring for a similar sentient being (wolves, wolfdogs, horses, etc.) who has also suffered from trauma. The resulting animal-bonding is the beginning of a healing process for both the veteran, and the animal.

Tara was rescued after being left for dead by a Premarin facility where mares are forced into perpetual pregnancy so that their urine can be collected to be used in pharmaceuticals.

  • A pair of endangered Scarlet Macaws ( Ara macao cyanoptera ) keep watch from 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.

  • 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 />
<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 />
<br />
Happily in this case, after a few minutes, this young howler was able to regain his composure and scurry back to his mother in the treetops, leaping from branch to branch as if nothing had ever happened.

  • 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.
