Green Basilisk

A member of the so-called iguana family, this rainforest lizard climbs and swims well, hunting for insects and other small animals near river banks. Its feet have flaps of skin, which trap bubbles of air as it scampers across pools of water—this ability to run on water has earned it the name "Jesus Christ lizard."

Serval

Lean and long-legged like a small cheetah, the serval often hunts among the tall reeds and rushes of wetlands, where its dark-spotted, yellowish coat provides excellent camouflage. The serval, one of the tallest cats, detects much of its prey with its long, mobile ears, but also uses its height to see over tall vegetation.

Ribbontail Stingray

Viewed from below, a ribbontail stingray's white underside disappears into sunlit waters; from above, its speckled back blends into coral reefs. A ribbontail stingray's bright-blue spots serve as a warning to predators.

Water Fight

The tiger is the largest of all the big cats. Five subspecies remain alive today, of which the Bengal tiger is the most common. Tigers are usually solitary, so if a stranger ignores the boundary scent marks and wanders into another tiger's territory, a fierce fight often ensues.

East Australian Forests: A damp corner of the drought continent

As moisture-laden winds from the Pacific Ocean rise over Australia's southeastern and eastern coast toward the Great Dividing Range, water vapor condenses into rain. Within this moist, warm mosaic are patches of temperate forest.

Central and South America: Land of the Jaguar

Collectively, Central and South America constitute more than 7 million sq miles of incredibly varied terrain and climate.

Yellowstone: Bald Eagle

The bald eagle is found only in North America, but its image is used as a symbol of power, grace, and durability worldwide. The bald eagle was chosen as the national bird of the US in 1782.
