  • Japanese dwarf flying squirrels (Pteromys volans orii) forage on a number of plant species, one of which is the Sakhalin fir (Abies sachalinensis). The squirrels select the tips of fir branches, where tender new leaves can be found. After breaking off a branch tip, the squirrels frequently consume only some of the leaves before tossing the branch away, resulting in a partially eaten branch tip, as pictured here.

  • This Japanese flying squirrel (Pteromys volans orii) is perched on a comfortable, safe location high above the ground, where it is eating one of its favorite foods, the buds of a Japanese elm tree (Ulmus davidiana var. japonica). Normally nocturnal, these squirrels are sometimes active in the early hours of daylight.

  • These are male catkins of an East Asian alder tree (Alnus japonica). These catkins are highly prized food among Pteromys volans orii flying squirrels.

  • Pictured here are male catkins of an Alnus japonica elder tree together with female cones. The male catkins comprise many flowers, which produce pollen to pollinate female catkins. Once pollinated, the female catkins develop into woody false cones as seen here. In the autumn the scales of the cones open and disperse their seeds. Male catkins of this species are among the favorite foods of Pteromys volans orii flying squirrels.

  • Long Lake, part of Ngeruktabel Island in Palau, is home to a variety of plant life, including a dense forest of mangrove trees. This is a young Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove plant taking root in the shallows. When mature, these mangrove trees create an intricate network of roots that stablize and lock-in silt and mud, providing a buffer against erosion, as well as serving as shelter for juvenile fish and other marine animals.

  • This is a young Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove plant taking root in the shallow water of Long Lake, part of Ngeruktabel Island in Palau. These mangrove trees create an intricate network of roots, visible behind this young plant, that stablize and lock-in silt and mud, providing a buffer against erosion, as well as serving as shelter for juvenile fish and other marine animals.

  • This is a horned isopod (Deto echinata), a species of air-breathing isopod that inhabits seashores of southern Africa. This isopod is a woodlouse, which is an isopod that is adapted to terrestrial rather than aquatic life. This species lives onshore, feeding in the intertidal zone on carrion and plant material washed up by the ocean, as well as small live prey. The horns on the backs of this species are longer in males than in females. This is a male, about two centimeters in length.

  • Long Lake, part of Ngeruktabel Island in Palau, is home to a variety of plant life, including a dense forest of mangrove trees. Pictured here is a portion of the thick, intertwined network of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangrove prop roots that are submerged during high tide, but partially exposed during lower tides. These roots are key to the survival of the trees, but also serve as shelter for juvenile fish and other marine animals. The intricate network of roots also stablize and lock-in silt and mud, providing a buffer against erosion.
