  • Water droplets are forced into the air as the Little White Salmon River crashes into rocks in Skamania County, Washington, near the Columbia River Gorge. A fast shutter speed captures the droplets suspended in air against the sunlit turquoise-colored backdrop of the silt-filled river.

  • A greater roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) races into a wash in the Sonoran Desert near Chandler, Arizona. Roadrunners, which are found throughout Mexico, Central America and the Southwestern United States, can run at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour (32 km/h).

  • A young red fox kit (Vulpes vulpes) runs across a field in the San Juan Island National Historical Park in Washington state. Red foxes were introduced to San Juan Island in the early 1900s in an attempt to control the population of European rabbits, which were also introduced to the island.

  • A giant crevasse is visible in this aerial view of the Fox Glacier near Mount Tasman in New Zealand. Crevasses form as the glacier picks up speed and bends to move down the mountain. The higher speed and bending causes it to crack open.

  • A panning exposure captures the motion of a Masai ostrich (Struthio camelus massaicus) walking through tall grass in the savannah of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The ostrich is the largest living bird species and can reach a height of 9 feet, 2 inches (2.8 meters) — about half of the height coming from its neck. The ostrich cannot fly, but can run faster than any other bird, reaching a top speed of 40 miles per hour (70 kilometers per hour).

  • A red-breasted merganser (Mergus serrator) runs across the surface of Puget Sound to build speed to take flight near Edmonds, Washington.

  • The fast-moving Gunnison River carves a deep gorge in the rock at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado. Near this point, the Gunnison River drops 240 feet per mile (45 m/km), causing it to gain speed and strength to erode tougher rock. The Gunnison River drops more within the national park than the Mississippi River does between Minnesota and the Gulf of Mexico.

  • A surf scoter (Melanitta perspicillata) runs on the water of Puget Sound near Edmonds, Washington, to gain speed so it can fly.

  • A peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) perches on a bluff near its nest near Snoqualmie Falls near Snoqulamie, Washington. The peregrine falcon feeds almost exclusively on medium-sized birds and is known for its incredible speed as it dives to catch its prey, reaching speeds of more than 200 miles per hour (320 km/h).

  • A green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), or Honu in Hawaiian, rests on the Punalu`u Black Sand Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii. Punalu`u is one of the few beaches where these turtles bask in the sun. Scientists believe the cold-blooded turtles bask there to speed their metabolism and avoid tiger sharks.

  • A bison (bison bison) is airborne as it runs in the snow near Junction Butte in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Even though bison can weigh 2,000 pounds (900 kilograms), they can run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour (56 km/h).

  • A captive patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas) gets a back rub from another. Patas monkeys are social monkeys that are found in semi-arid areas of West Africa into East Africa. They are considered the fastest primate on earth, capable of running at speeds up to 55 kilometers (34 miles) per hour.
