A white crab spider waits for prey to become entangled in the fine threads placed on the blossom of a blue princess flower in Hanover, Germany. Princess flowers have dark, strangely formed stamens that look like a spider lying on its back, which gave them the name 'spider flowers' in their South American native areas

A one-horned rhino takes refuge on high land near a high voltage electric pole inside the flooded Pobitora wildlife sanctuary in India. During the flood time rhinos become easy target of poachers. The third wave of flooding has submerged more than 90% of the wildlife sanctuary and majority of the animals have taken shelter in the high lands
一只独角犀牛在一个高压铁塔附近的高地上避难，这里是位于印度、被洪水淹没的Pobitora野生动物保护区。在洪水时期，犀牛很容易成为偷猎者的目标。第三次洪峰已经淹没了这个野生动物保护区90％的土地，大多数动物都逃到了高地上避难。

A record-breaking 429 white-shouldered ibis have been recorded in Cambodia by the University of East Anglia, making the known global population much larger than previously thought. With so many birds remaining in the wild the chances of conservation success are greatly improved – welcome news for this critically endangered bird species

Great bowerbirds are known for their dramatic and elaborate constructions with decorative objects such as pebbles, bones, and shells to attract a mate. But researchers have discovered a new dimension to these showy structures: males of this species build staged scenes that make themselves look larger or smaller than they actually are. Scientists believe great bowerbirds are the first known non-human animals that create scenes with altered visual perspectives for viewing by other individuals
众所周知，大园丁鸟善于利用卵石、骨头和贝壳来搭建引人入胜、结构精巧的爱巢来吸引伴侣。不过，研究人员发现这些漂亮的鸟巢还有新的作用：这些雄鸟筑巢的尺寸可以让它们看起来比实际大一点或者小一点。科学家认为，大园丁鸟是第一个已知的会改变他人视角的非人类动物。

Representatives from Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and UN bodies meeting in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, have agreed an international conservation pact for the migratory saiga antelope. Saigas numbered around 1 million animals in the early 1990s, but declined to between 60,000 and 70,000 in 2006, largely due to a sharp rise in poaching after the collapse of the former Soviet Union. The horns of males are in high demand for traditional Asian medicine, especially in China and parts of south-east Asia来自哈萨克斯坦、蒙古、俄罗斯、土库曼斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦和联合国机构的代表在蒙古的乌兰巴托会晤，签署了塞加羚羊迁徙国际保护协定。 塞加羚羊在上世纪90年代初大约有为100万头左右，但是到了2006年数量下降到了60,000和70,000左右，主要是由于在前苏联解体之后，偷猎日益猖獗。亚洲传统医学中需要雄性羚羊角，尤其是在中国和东南亚地区。

The researcher Tony Fischbach observes hundreds of walrus as they cover the US shores of the Chukchi Sea near Point Lay, Alaska. Scientists in the Arctic are reporting a rare mass migration of thousands of walrus  from the ice floes to dry land along Alaska's coast. Experts fear declining Arctic sea ice may have caused an unprecedented mass migration to dry land
托尼菲施巴赫的研究者正在观察数以百计的海象，这些海象遍布美国阿拉斯加州波因特附近的科奇海岸。根据北极科学家的报告，数以千计的海象罕见地通过浮冰大规模迁移到阿拉斯加沿岸的旱地上。专家担心，北极海冰的减少可能造成海象前所未有地向旱地大规模的迁移。
