  • A large adult American Bison (Bison bison) stands in an open prairie near Buffalo Gap in Badlands National Park, South Dakota. Bison are the largest terrestrial land mammals in North America. While commonly called buffalo, true buffalo are found only in Africa and Asia.

  • An American pika rests in the forest along the North Fork of the Sauk River in Washington's Central Cascades. Pikas live at higher altitudes on rocky mountains. They do not hibernate in the winter, so they spend the summer collecting and drying grasses for food and bedding. It is related to the rabbit and is also known as the "whistling hare" due to its high-pitched alarm call.

  • An American bison (Bison bison) stands in a golden field in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Bison, the largest terrestial animals in North America, mainly feed on grass. Bison are also commonly referred to as buffalo.

  • A reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) grazes in southeastern Iceland near the town of Höfn. Reindeer, also known caribou in North America, is a species of deer native to Arctic and Subarctic regions, although they were introduced to Iceland. The reindeer population in Iceland is estimated at between 2,500 and 3,000.

  • A young arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) curls up to stay warm during a rainstorm near the summit of Thrihnukagigur, a volcano in southwestern Iceland. The arctic fox is also known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox, though it displays its pure white form only in the winter months. Arctic foxes, found throughout the Arctic tundra, are small with a body length of less than 3 feet (85 cm). To survive in such a harsh environment, they have very deep fur and a rounded body shape, which minimizes the portion of their body that is exposed to the elements.

  • An arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) that has transitioned mostly to its white winter coat looks for food on the hillside above Fossárvik in southeastern Iceland. Arctic foxes, found throughout the Arctic tundra, are small with a body length of less than 3 feet (85 cm). To survive in such a harsh environment, they have very deep fur and a rounded body shape, which minimizes the portion of their body that is exposed to the elements.

  • Two Allen's Chipmunks (Tamias senex) play on the rocks in the Sequoia National Forest near Kings Canyon National Park, California. Allen's Chipmunks, also known as Large Mountain Chipmunks or Shadow Chipmunks, are found from the coast to the mountains, though only the mountain chipmunks hibernate in the winter. Allen's Chipmunks primarily feed on fungi.

  • An Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) feeds on seeds from a maple tree in the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle, Washington. The Eastern Gray Squirrel is native to the United States east of the Mississippi River, but was introduced to several cities in Washington, Oregon, California and British Columbia. It does not hibernate, but does store seeds and nuts in tree cavities and the ground for the winter.

  • A red fox (Vulpes vulpes) rests in a field near Ohio Creek in the Gunnison National Forest in Colorado. Red foxes are typically found in remote, forested hilly areas near marshes and streams. The red fox has an especially wide range. It's native to most of United States and Canada, Europe, North Africa, and nearly all of Asia, including Japan.

  • A moose (Alces alces) shakes to dry off as it emerges from Fishercap Lake, located in Glacier National Park, Montana. The moose and the flying water droplets are blurred by a long exposure to capture their movement.

  • Two Belding's ground squirrels (Urocitellus beldingi) appear to kiss in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Frenchglen, Oregon. The ground squirrels are actually smelling each other's oral gland secretions to determine whether or not they're related. Belding's ground squirrels produce at least two odors from glands on their mouths and backs. They can determine whether they're related, and how closely they're related, by those odors.

  • A grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) hunts for food in a meadow located in the Many Glacier section of Glazier National Park, Montana. Grizzly bears will eat both vegetation and animals. This one was feasting on blueberries growing in the meadow.

  • A golden-mantled ground squirrel (Spermophilus lateralis) looks out from grasses that are nearly as tall as it is. The squirrel, typically 9 to 12 inches in length, is found in forests throughout North America. This one was found on the rim of Crater Lake, Oregon.

  • Three American bison (Bison bison) graze in a grassy field in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. The bison are also commonly known as American buffalo. Bison can grow up to 6.6 feet (2 meters) tall, 10 feet (3 meters) long, and weigh between 900 and 2,200 pounds (400 to 1,000 kg).

  • Two bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) feast on glacier lilies near Logan Pass in Glacier National Park, Montana. The yellow glacier lilies (Erythronium grandiflorum) are among the first wildflowers to bloom when the snow melts in mountain meadows.
