  • One juvenile bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) feeds at the nest while its sibling is forced to wait in the shadow for its turn.

The dominant eagle arrived first and prevented the other juvenile from feeding.

  • Chincoteague ponies (Equus caballus), also known as Assateague horses, feed together on Assateague Island in the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia. Chincoteague ponies are small — typically 12-13 hands (about 4 feet tall) — their growth stunted by the limited food and harsh environment of Assateague Island. About 300 wild — technically feral — ponies roam the island on the Atlantic coast. There is some dispute as to how the ponies ended up on the island. Some researchers believe the ponies are survivors of the wreck of a Spanish galleon, La Galga, which sank just off the coast in 1750; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes they are descendants of horses owned by early colonial settlers.
