A magnificent view of Cenote Samula in Dzitnup, Yucatan, Mexico.

Cenote Samula is an enclosed cenote with a small hole at the top that allows rays of light to penetrate and illuminate the brilliant blue water for about a couple hours a day and when it isn't too cloudy. Often, vines will grow down through the hole towards the water beneath and the combination of the beam of sunlight, vines, vivid blue water, and unique rock formations render the scene even more spectacular and magical.

A young Cusk-eel, with a translucent body.

The Cusk-eel family, Ophidiidae, is a group of marine bony fishes in the Ophidiiformes order. The scientific name originates from the Greek word "ophis" meaning "snake", and refers to their eel-like appearance. However, their name can be misleading since they are not true eels and one feature that differentiates them from eels is their fins. Cusk-eels have a ventral (pelvic) fin near to the underside of their throats which is something most true eels do not possess. These marine creatures live close to the sea bottom, ranging from shallow water to the hadal zone. They have been observed to use their tails to burrow into the mud to escape predators and sneak up on prey. In 1970, one species, Abyssobrotula galatheae, was recorded in the hadalpelagic zone of the Puerto Rico trench (deepest trench in the Atlantic Ocean) at a depth of 8,370 m (27,460 ft).

A Mantled guereza family interacting with each other.

The Mantled guereza (Colobus guereza) is a black-and-white colobus, a type of Old World monkey, native to west central and east Africa. Long white fringes of hair, known as a mantle, run along each side of its black trunk - a particular appearance which is being referred to in its common name. Its face is framed with white hair and it has a long tail which is longer than the head and body combined. The tail ends in a large white tuft, which varies in how much it covers the tail. Being social primates, Mantled guerezas form units of 8 - 15 individuals, including a dominant male, 3 - 4 breeding females along with their offsprings. Sometimes, several other males may temporarily join the group.

Stunning Smoky quartz cluster.

Smoky quartz is the dark form of quartz with color ranging from light gray to yellowish brown, to opaque black. It varies in clarity from almost complete transparency to an almost-opaque brownish-gray or black crystal. Smoky quartz obtains its color from the radiation of colorless quartz while the crystal is still forming in a semi aqueous solution, and the presence of sodium and aluminum in its composition. It is found in many parts of the world where quartz is found, but mainly in Brazil, Scotland (UK), parts of the Swiss Alpines, Australia, and Madagascar.

Asian ladybeetles gather by thousands on a tree trunk in Green Mountain, Boulder Mountain Park, Colorado, United States.

These tiny insects may have evolved this behaviour to reproduce and to cope with a limited winter food supply as temperature drops and they prepare to hibernate. Although this accumulation in large groups may seem to render the ladybugs more visible and thus more vulnerable to predators, in fact their high numbers serve to amplify the warning message by their red color.
Ladybugs are aposematic, meaning they are organisms that have evolved bright, contrasting colours to warn predators of dangerous behaviour or distastefulness. Their bodies contain a bitter tasting and strong smelling alkaloid called coccinelline. If handled a bit roughly or attacked by a predator, they release a yellow liquid from their leg joints containing high concentrations of the alkaloid, known as "reflex bleeding". Since the reflex bleeding is a demanding defence mechanism with the ladybugs secreting up to almost a quarter of their body weight, during winter time they need to conserve their energy and do not reflex bleed. That is one of the reasons they cluster together - to warn potential predators of their foul taste.

Aerial view of the Raplee Ridge, a remarkable geog

Aerial view of the Raplee Ridge, a remarkable geographic feature in San Juan County, Utah, United States.

This extraordinary site is described by the locals as resembling the design of a "Navajo blanket". Indeed, the multi-colored, zig-zagging triangular geometric shapes on Raplee Ridge’s steep western slope are shaped and colored similar to the patterns on beautiful blankets and rugs woven by members of the Navajo tribe. During the day, these colors tend to look washed out but closer to sunset, they are marvelously intensified. The zig-zag pattern is the result of runoff-induced differential erosion, cutting deep gouges and gullies that reveal the many layers on the western slope. Between these cut valleys are erosion-resistant, upward-pointing triangles of rock called “flatirons" which line the face of Raplee Ridge’s western slope, displaying the many colorful rock layers in between.

Gorgeous Brown-hooded Parrots in the lowlands of Costa Rica.

The Brown-hooded Parrot (Pionopsitta haematotis) is native to the Southernmost areas of Gulf of Mexico, Western Panama and Western Ecuador. They measure between 8 - 8.4 inches (21 cm) in length and weigh around 165 g. The adult plumage is generally green, with an olive tone to the breast. Their head and neck are brown, but darker on the face, especially in males. They have distinct red ear patches, a tail with reddish sides and wings with blue outer primaries and red linings that are more visible in flight.

A pair of a species of Pufferfish.

There are at least 200 species of Pufferfish in the Tetraodontidae family. They have long, tapered bodies with bulbous heads and their sizes vary from 1 inch to 2 ft in length. They are scaleless fish and usually have rough to spiky skin. Pufferfish are known for their famous “inflatability” which is employed as a defense mechanism if they are threatened.
Due to their slow and somewhat clumsy swimming style, they are vulnerable to predators. So instead of escaping, pufferfish use their highly elastic stomachs and the ability to quickly ingest huge amounts of water to inflate themselves into an unappetizing ball several times their original size. However, expanding themselves with water so that their skin is stretched tight can be very painful, so puffers need to stretch out their muscles. Although they sometimes do it just to stretch, puffing up often can be stressful for a puffer, so they limit themselves to only when they need to.
