  • A burro (Equus asinus), also known as a donkey, stands among the Calico Hills in the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area in Nevada. Burros were introduced to the area in the 1800s by miners and ranchers who used them to haul heavy cargo. Some escaped or were freed, becoming wild (technically feral). The Red Rock Canyon area is part of the Mojave Desert and is a harsh environment, but the burros are able to survive by finding spring water and feeding on grasses.

  • 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.

  • A bald eagle and a red fox tussle in mid-air 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.

  • This is the view inside a 2,000-year-old Western Red Cedar tree, still living in the Quinault Rain Forest, Washington. As cedar trees age, they hollow out to allow fierce winds to blow through them, rather than toppling during storms. The only living part is a vein that's two feet in diameter. The tree, located in Olympic National Park, however, is so huge another tree grows out of its top.

  • A red-breasted nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) catches an insect at the entrance to its nest in Ravenna Park, Seattle, Washington. Red-breasted nuthatches line the entrance to their nest with sticky pitch, which may be intended to trap insects and serve as an obstacle for predators. The nuthatches avoid the pitch by flying straight through the hole. Red-breasted nuthatches, which feed mainly on insects and spiders during the summer nesting months, found several insects trapped in the pitch surrounding the hole to its nest.
