The Long-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus)

The Long-snouted seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus), also known as the Spiny seahorse in Great Britain.

This species of seahorse is a small-sized marine fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae, native from the northeast Atlantic, including the Mediterranean. It measures on average about 12 cm but can reach a maximum length of 21.5 cm.

A distinct characteristic is the presence of numerous rather long dermal filaments on the head and dorsal ridge. Its color ranges from black to yellow, red, orange and brown with small white dots speckled over its body. Furthermore, the Long-snouted seahorse can rapidly change color patterns to blend with its immediate surroundings, and in doing so, can avoid predators by imitating the color of underwater plants.

Cyclocosmia ricketti, commonly known as the Chines

Cyclocosmia ricketti, commonly known as the Chinese hourglass spider, is a species of trapdoor spider of the genus Cyclocosmia, which refers specifically to mygalomorphus animals. Cyclocosmia ricketti is native to China and it was first described in 1901 by Mary Agard Pocock.

The abdomen of spiders in this genus is abruptly truncated and ends in a hardened disc which is strengthened by a system of ribs and grooves.They use this to clog the entrance of their 7 to 15 cm deep vertical burrows when threatened, a phenomenon called phragmosis.

Strong spines are located around the edge of the disk. The four spinnerets are found just anterior to it, with the posterior, retractable spinnerets particularly large.

An incredible rock formation at Montana De Oro State Park, California, USA.

The Montana De Oro State Park is well-known for its breathtaking scenery and unique landscape that have been shaped by volcanic activity, plate tectonic interactions and erosion over millions of years. Marine terraces are evidence of regional uplift. The park features rugged cliffs, secluded sandy beaches, coastal plains, streams, canyons, and hills.

In 1960, David Latimer planted a tiny garden insid

In 1960, David Latimer planted a tiny garden inside of a large glass bottle and sealed it shut. He opened the bottle 12 years later in 1972 to add some water and then sealed it for good. The self contained ecosystem has flourished for nearly 60 years.

For those who are wondering how this is even possible: the garden is a perfectly balanced and self-sufficient ecosystem. The bacteria in the compost eats the dead plants and breaks down the oxygen that is released by the plants, turning it into carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. The bottle is essentially a microcosm of earth.

Impressive close-up of a Tokay gecko, believed to

Impressive close-up of a Tokay gecko, believed to be the 3rd largest species of geckos.

The Tokay gecko is a large nocturnal arboreal gecko in the genus Gekko and is native to Asia and some Pacific Islands. It can reach a total length of up to 30 cm (12 in) and is known to be generally aggressive and territorial. Tokay geckos can inflict a strong bite and the strength of the bite is in relation to the gecko's size; larger (usually male) tokay geckos are capable of piercing skin, which often result in immediate bleeding.

These reptiles are strong climbers with foot pads that provide them with an incredible grip. They have the ability to “stick” to vertical and overhanging surfaces for a long period of time using setae, fine filaments that create more surface area and form molecular bonds. Indeed, their grip force is pretty impressive, as they can support the entire body weight and even up to 450 pounds. As well, Tokay gecko can hold onto a vertical surface with as little as one toe at a time.

Dracula orchid genus. These ones have a very parti

Dracula orchid genus. These ones have a very particular resemblance to a monkey face 😮.

The orchid genus Dracula consists of 118 species native to Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The name Dracula literally means "little dragon", an allusion to the mythical Count Dracula, and it is attributed to this genus due to the blood-red color of several of the species and the unusual aspect of the long spurs of the sepals. Some of the most sought-after species are the D. vampira, D. chimaera, D. bella, D. gorgona and D. simia, whether it's due to their interesting flowers or to their peculiar names.
One of the species, Dracula simia, also called Monkey orchid or the Monkey-like Dracula has its arrangement of column, petals and lip that strongly alludes to a monkey's face. The plant blooms at any season and the flowers are said to be fragant with the scent of a ripe orange.

This Large Frogmouth baby emerges from underneath its parent for the very first time since its birth, seemingly all cheery to witness its surroundings! 😀

The Large Frogmouth (Batrachostomus auritus) is a species of bird found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. It is named after its broad, frog-like mouth. This species is considerably larger than other members of its genus and grows to a length of about 42 cm (17 in).
Being a nocturnal bird, it hunts by night, on the ground and in the canopy, feeding on insects such as grasshoppers and cicadas. During the day, it roosts, perched on a branch or hidden in a hole, single or possibly in pairs.
