  • A bald eagle and a red fox tussle in midair over a European rabbit in San Juan Island National Historical Park in Washington state. The fight began when the bald eagle attempted to steal the rabbit away from the young fox, known as a kit. When the bald eagle grabbed the rabbit, it inadvertently also caught the fox, lifting both more than 20 feet into the air. The fox swung back and forth trying to take the rabbit back. The bald eagle released the fox and flew off with the rabbit. The whole struggle lasted 8 seconds. Both European rabbits (Oryctolagus cunuculus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were introduced to San Juan Island. The rabbits were introduced to the island in the 1890s by settlers; foxes were introduced occasionally in the 1900s. The European rabbits in particular are considered an invasive species, turning the prairie into an unsustainable barren landscape with their vast burrows. This displaces small native mammals, such as the Townsend's vole. While bald eagles and foxes occasionally hunt rabbits, it is a relatively rare occurrence. Up to 97 percent of an eagle's diet consists of fish and birds; red foxes more commonly eat berries, insects and small mammals, like the vole.

  • Five North American Beavers (Castor canadensis) rest on top of their lodge in North Creek, Bothell, Washington. Beavers, the largest rodent in North America, live in lodges that are designed to protect them from predators. The mud that holds the sticks together freezes like concrete, making the structure virtually impenetrable. During large winter floods, however, the beavers occasionally have to evacuate the lodge and rest on its roof until the flood waters recede.

  • Several members of the Orca (Orcinus Orca) family J Pod surface together to breathe while sleeping off Blakely Island in Washington's Puget Sound. When sleeping, the whales, also known as killer whales, turn off the half of their brains that are not responsible for regulating breathing. During this time, they tend to cluster, swim slowly in circles, and surface together. The J Pod is one of three families of orcas that are regularly found in the waters around Washington's San Juan Islands.

  • A bull Yellowstone Moose (Alces alces shirasi) feeds on willow shrubs as the winter sun rises in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Bull moose typically have antlers, but they lose them in the winter in order to conserve energy. The Yellowstone moose is the smallest of the four subspecies of moose found in North America, although it is the largest member of the deer family that resides in the park.

  • Three American bison (Bison bison) graze in deep snow near Fountain Flat in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Bison are well equiped for harsh winter conditions. They grow a winter coat of wooly underfur, which has coarse hairs that protect them from the elements. The humps on their backs also contain muscles supported by long vertebrae that help swing their heads to move vast amounts of snow.

  • A piebald Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) stands in a field in Pierce County, Washington. Piebaldism is caused by a genetic mutation that affects less than 2 percent of deer. Piebaldism differs from albinism in that piebald animals have cells that can produce pigment, but those cells don't. Piebald deer have a relatively low survival rate because they also often suffer from other deformities, particularly leg and spine issues.

  • A young red fox (Vulpes vulpes) looks out from a burrow in the prairie at San Juan Island National Historical Park on San Juan Island, Washington. Red foxes are not native to the island. They were introduced by settlers on various occasions in the 1900s. Moments before this image was captured, a bald eagle stole an English rabbit that was caught by this fox, lifting both the rabbit and the fox more than 20 feet into the air.

  • 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.

  • A fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) digs its claws into the bark as it climbs an oak tree in Potholes State Park in Grant County, Washington. The fox squirrel is the largest tree squirrel native to North America, though its original range consisted of the eastern half of the continent. It was introduced to several western states, including Washington, as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia.

  • Chincoteague ponies (Equus caballus), also known as Assateague horses, walk through a marsh 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.
