  • This is two male Zoarchias major eelpouts engaging in mouth-to-mouth battle in mid-water. When these fish fight, they usually do not leave the substrate. There are bigger fish around that will happily eat them. These two individuals were evenly matched, which made for a protracted, intense battle.

  • This is a female bivalve of indeterminate species engaged in broadcast spawning. The bivalve is embedded in the coral reef. The orange strands comprise thousands upon thousands of tiny eggs. There is a Nagasaki Damsel (Pomacentris nagasakiensis) in the background. It is rushing in to eat the eggs.

  • This Ezo chipmunk (Tamias sibiricus lineatus) has just emerged from hibernation, during which time it lost substantial body mass, as well as the hair on its tail. These squirrels eat much of what they find, then stuff their mouths full as shown here in order to store food in the nests.

  • A hairy frogfish (Antennarius striatus) attempting to attract a small mantis shrimp by waving its lure (esca), in order to eat the crustacean. Mantis shrimps are clever, however, so this one did not fall for the ruse, and the frogfish had to move on to continue its quest for a meal. File 1 of 22.

  • This is a female hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) foraging for food on the reef at Blue Corner in Palau. Her head is facing down while she looks for something to eat, with her rear end flipped up such that it appears that the turtle is performing a handstand. Hawksbill turtles are critically endangered.

  • Individual Pteromys volans flying squirrels seem to have favored perches such as this. This individual visited this spot often, sometimes just to sit, sometimes to eat, often as a stopover before gliding to other trees to forage.

  • This is an Ezo red fox (Vulpes vulpes schrencki), called Kita Kitsune in Japanese, carrying a vole (Myodes sp.) that it caught in an area of exposed grass. At the time of this photo, the snow had just begun to melt, creating a patchwork of exposed terrain.

  • This is a lizardfish (Synodus sp.) that has just caught a butterflyfish (Chaetodon sp.). Lizardfish are ambush predators. They lie in wait on the bottom, often perched at a slight angle, such that the fish looks up into the water column. When potential prey passes overhead, the lizardfish darts up in the blink of an eye to grab its meal. While some fish do get away, the many sharp, backward-pointing teeth in a lizardfish’s mouth make escape difficult.
