National Geographic Photo Ark
The last living Rabb's fringe-limbed tree frog died in 2016 at Atlanta Zoo. The now-extinct Panamanian frog species was discovered in the wild in 2005, and just two years later no more of these frogs could be found.
Western banded geckos have a very specific strategy for killing venomous scorpions.
The fur of the red panda is typically a russett red, with a similar face 'mask' to the raccoon and a facial colouration ranging from pale (typically in the west) to deep red (in the east.)
A six-month old red panda, shot by Joel Sartore for National Geographic's Photo Ark project, which aims to document every species of animal living in captivity around the world.
Some squid, such as the Atlantic brief squid (pictured above at Gulf Specimen Marine Lab and Aquarium) have blue blood because it contains the metal copper.
Alligator gars have a wide range that includes Central America and Cuba.
During breeding season, male black-necked swans (Cygnus melancoryphus) use their wings to beat away any would-be suitors. After the eggs hatch, dad also watches over the fledglings while mom goes out to grab food for herself. Photographed at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Nebraska, U.S.
Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) spend winters alone but reunite with the same partner during the breeding season. The male sticks around to keep the eggs warm and feed the young fledglings for the first few months of life. Photographed at the Raptor Recovery Center in Elmswood, Nebraska, U.S.
The potbellied seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis), like all seahorses, flirts, and females compete with each other for the attention of males. A reliable mate is important, since he'll be the one carrying the babies. Photographed at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Nebraska, U.S.
Like some long-married couples, black vultures (Coragyps atratus) look just like each other and exhibit no differences in size or plumage. Photographed at the George Miksch Sutton Avian Research Centre in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, U.S.
