  • Video by @joelsartore | The BUGarium, located in the Botanic Garden of the @ABQBioPark, is one of the largest insect zoos in North America with over 60 species of insects and other arthropods on display. Some of the most popular exhibits include a massive colony of leafcutter ants that travel over guests’ heads along a vine, a closet-sized enclosure filled with foot-long stick insects, and a collection of praying mantis species from across the globe. While most people are familiar with the typical green mantises seen in gardens, BUGarium visitors encounter bizarre and beautiful species like this giant golden mantis (Hierodula sp.) from southeastern Asia. Close relatives of the often maligned cockroaches, praying mantises are strictly predatory - larger species like this one can even subdue small birds. .

  • Photo by @petekmuller. A young boy dashes through tall grass on his way to fish in the Cubango River in Angola. The Cubango, which is a critical tributary to the pristine Okavango Delta, starts as a meandering stream in central Angola. There, rural communities rely on it for a variety of daily needs including water and food. Boys in rural communities fish as a means of supplementing their diet--which is largely derived from subsistence farming and expensive imported goods--as well as way to make some additional money by selling fish to other members of the community. #intotheokavango #cubango2017 #Angola #Cubango #River #Africa #expedition #science #biodiversity #conservation #fishing

  • Photo @andy_bardon /// The last light on the Teton Mountains. With over 30 feet of snow this season the rivers are raging, the local creeks are overflowing and the valleys are lush and green. The mountain snowpack persists and was the deepest ever recorded, while snowfall and water amounts were only beat by the Winter of 1996-1997.
  • Photo by @TimLaman. A lioness greets a male from her pride as he rests on a mudflat in the Serengeti on my recent trip there. Amazing to see these massive cats in the wild. Their strength and power is so impressive up close…. we must preserve the big wild cats! To see more from #Tanzania visit @TimLaman. #Serengeti, #Africa, #Lion, @thephotosociety @natgeocreative.
  • Photograph by Michael Yamashita @yamashitaphoto - Beat the heat: Tokyo Summerland is a popular water park that's home to the world's most crowded wave pool. It creates a 1 meter wave for 5 minutes every hour on the hour. Hundreds of swimmers crowd into the pool in anticipation of waves, then jump out and wait for the next round of waves. #Akiruno #Summerland #wavepool #summer #pool #Tokyo #Japan @natgeocreative @natgeotravel @thephotosociety
  • Video by @paulnicklen. Can you imagine what it would be like to turn yourself into a giant chew toy for fifty Steller sea lions. All I know is that it is challenging to film when your mask is full of water from laughing so hard. With @snapamap for @sea_legacy #followme on @paulnicklen to see my favorite images from this rich coast. #bc #nature #dive #underwater #love #adventure #passion #20by2020

The unique fluted columns of Phonolite porphyry rock are littered with cracks, perfect for finger jams and placing gear for protection. @rob_pizem seen here climbing up one of the towers more notorious routes "El Matador" at sunset.
  • Photo by @pedromcbride // Reflective Silence: During our 700-mile +, 71-day walk through the length of the Grand Canyon, we often depended on shallow puddles of rain water to survive. Not only do they provide life, but they reflect the stillness, silence and river of stars that for me, define this wild realm more than its rich geology and humbling landscape.
