Fireflies, Ontario
Photograph by Steve Irvine
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos
This is about one hour of firefly activity near my home in rural Ontario. The precision of the background star trails is an interesting contrast to the chaotic pattern of the firefly flashes.

Arctic Fox
Photograph by Stephen Oachs
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos
The arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) is well suited for frigid weather, from its short muzzle and ears to its furry soled paws and thick, bushy tail.
This photograph illustrates the camouflage effect of the winter-white fur in the snow. The stance shows the fox is poised to dart away, yet his curiosity holds him in frame just long enough to capture those vibrant, piercing eyes staring warily into the camera lens.

Elephants, Namibia
Photograph by Aaron Price
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos
This shot was taken just before the rainy season in Etosha National Park, Namibia, during an internship for the World Wildlife Fund-Namibia Chapter. The elephants were in the process of chasing away all the wildlife in the area from the watering hole. Then the dominant male proceeded to lead the charge on the parked vehicles as you're observing now. I like this picture because there is so much motion and you feel alive when being chased down by elephants.

Frogs

This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos
It was a simple shot in Hamburg 2008. I love this picture because there is so much silence in it. Nevertheless, a beautiful living animal in its own empire.

Lion, South Africa

This South African lion looks a bit grouchy, but he was actually yawning. His yawning caused a chain reaction of yawns from every member of the pride. Are you yawning yet?

Mandarin Ducks, National Zoo
Photograph by Michael Schmidt
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos
Three Mandarin ducks sit in formation on a handrail at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. It was amazing to experience. The Mandarin duck is a medium-size perching duck, closely related to the North American wood duck. Referred to by the Chinese as Yuan-yang, they are frequently featured in Oriental art and are regarded as a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity.

Humpback Whale, Chatham Straight
Photograph by Coy Aune
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos
A humpback whale breaches in Chatham Straight just off of Baranof Island, Alaska. Weighing up to 50 tons and reaching lengths of 50 feet these whales display incredible beauty and power. This monster of the deep will soon start its winter migration to the warmer waters of Hawaii. The journey will last six to eight weeks.

Decken's Sifaka, Madagascar

Women Digging, India

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
During the dry season herding activity slackens, and the Rabari people alter their routines. In Rajasthan, women turn to grueling wage labor, earning two dollars a day for digging a reservoir.

Hadza Man, Tanzania
Photograph by Martin Schoeller
This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
Long vistas and the dry season's withered vegetation enable keen eyes to spot game miles away. From a wind-bowed tree on a ridge, a man named Mahiya peers across rough Tanzania terrain where Hadza bands range.

Eastern Orthodox Christian Monks
This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
On the holy peninsula of Mount Athos, monks chant "Christos anesti—Christ is risen" during a midnight vigil. This Easter gathering ends seven weeks of solemn fasting. Monks rise to pray during the quietest hours of the night because that is when they believe the heart is most open.

Pollen on Geranium Stigma
Photograph by Martin Oeggerli
This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
The size of the grains is measured in millionths of a meter, but the romantic journeys of pollen are epic. The dozens of golden grains that have successfully reached a Geranium phaeum flower's stigma must compete to be among the few that achieve fertilization.

A male tomato clownfish (Amphiprion frenatus) tends his field of developing eggs like a gardener, scooping away ones with dead embryos. He oxygenates the eggs by fanning them with his pectoral fins.

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
In the coastal desert of southern Peru, sprawling figures etched on the land—a spider, a monkey, a strange flying animal, and more—have inspired wonder in air travelers since first spotted in the 1920s. Now scientists believe they know why ancient people created the designs, beginning more than 2,000 years ago.
