  • Corals are marine organisms from the class Anthozoa and exist as small sea anemone-like polyps, typically in colonies of many identical individuals. Some corals are reef builders that are found in tropical oceans, which secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton...Corals can catch small fish and animals such as plankton using stinging cells on their tentacles, however these animals obtain most of their nutrients from photosynthetic unicellular algae.  As a results, most corals depend on sunlight and grow in clear and shallow water, at depths shallower than 200 ft (60 meters).

  • Sea Nettle Jellyfish, Chrysaora fuscescens, taken at the Monterey Aquarium in California. Not a jellyfish sting, but the sea nettle does. It hunts tiny drifting animals by trailing those long tentacles and frilly mouth-arms, all covered with stinging cells. When the tentacles touch prey, the stinging cells paralyze it and stick tight. The prey is then moved to the mouth-arms and finally to the mouth, where it's digested.

  • The Clark's Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana), is a large passerine bird, in the family Corvidae. It is ashy-grey all over except for the black-and-white wings and central tail feathers. All Clark's Nutcrackers have a sublingual pouch capable of holding around 90 seeds; the pouch greatly enhances the birds' ability to transport and store seeds...Surplus pine seed is stored, usually in the ground for later consumption, in as many as 2500 caches of 5-10 seeds each spread over an area of up to 20 × 20 kilometers (12.5 × 12.5 mi). The birds regularly store more than their actual needs as an insurance against seed theft by other animals. Closely tied in with this storage behaviour is the bird's remarkable long-term spatial memory as they are able to relocate caches of seeds with remarkable accuracy, even six months later, and even when the cache sites are buried under 3 feet of snow.

  • Asters get their name from the ancient Greek word ????? (astér), meaning "star", referring to the shape of the flower head. Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular as garden plants because of their attractive and colourful flowers...Bees play an important role in pollinating flowering plants. Bees either focus on gathering nectar or on gathering pollen. It is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of which is accomplished by bees, especially the domesticated European honey bee.

  • Mono Lake is a large saline and akaline lake in California on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is 1,944 m (6,380 ft) above sea level. The lake is in an geologically active area at the north end of the Mono-Inyo Craters volcanic chain.  Geological activity is caused by faulting at the base of the Sierra Nevada, and is associated with the crustal stretching of the Basin and Range Province. The most recent eruption occurred 350 years ago at Paoha Island in Mono Lake.

  • Living sand dollar have a different look than the white exoskeleton people are familiar with. Densely packed, tiny, dark purple spines cover live sand dollars and hide the star design...In their sandy seafloor habitat, sand dollars use their fuzzy spines, aided by tiny hairs (cilia), to ferry food particles along their bodies to a central mouth on their bottom side. They capture plankton with spines and pincers (pedicellariae) on their body surfaces. Sand dollars use their spines to move along the sand, or to drive edgewise into the sand. On the upper half of the sand dollar's body, spines also serve as gills...In quiet waters, sand dollars stand on end, partially buried in the sand. When waters are rough, sand dollars hold their ground by lying flat or even burrowing under the sand. Adults can also fight the currents by growing heavier skeletons. Young sand dollars weigh themselves down by swallowing heavy sand grains.

  • While hiking in Yosemite National Park, I came across this very obese chipmunk, probably eating way too much food brought in by humans.  Sadly, though this is a sad reflectioin that when we eat too much we no longer look as God meant to look.
