  • Waved Albatross pair (Phoebastria irrorata) change over for egg incubating<br />
Punta Cevallos, Española Island, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
ENDEMIC TO GALAPAGOS. <br />
CRITICALLY ENDANGERED<br />
However a few pairs nest on Isla de la Plata near the Ecuadorian mainland. +-12,000 pairs breed on the Island of Española in Galapagos. They only come ashore between April and December to breed, otherwise they spend their entire life at sea. Once an albatross chick fledges and goes to sea it will remain there until it is 4 years old before returning to land to breed for the first time. Albatross mate for life and live about 40 years. They form part of the family of tube-nosed birds.

  • Jaguars (Panthera onca) - mating pair. Cuiaba River.<br />
Pantanal. Largest contiguous wetland system in the world. Mato Grosso do Sul Province. BRAZIL.  South America.<br />
There is much size variation among these cats but in the Pantanal they are larger than those found in the rainforests. These are the largest of the spotted cats in the Americas. They are both diurnal and nocturnal and hunt at any time of the day. Territorial and generally solitary. They may feed on large mammals such as capybaras, peccaries and deer as well as turtles, tortoises, caiman, birds, fish and smaller mammals. They may kill livestock and do in the Pantanal which is why they are still hunted there by some ranchers.<br />
HABITAT & RANGE: Found in a variety of habitats from rainforests to wet grasslands and arid scrub up to 2000 m in elevation. North, Central and South America. From Mexico to Argentina. Formerly in sw USA and Uruguay where now extirpated.

  • Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) in section of the colony which is being studied.  Long term research project to investigate the reasons why the population is in decline. Whether it be in the adult stock, chick recruitment into the population or sub-adult mortality. Birds are ringed to identify individuals which is also showing high pair and nest site fidelity. During research period the birds are marked with orange paint to observe their location at sea and to ensure that each bird in the study area is censused which allows for less handling during the season.<br />
Steeple Jason Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
They return to the same nest annually. The nest is a a solid pillar up to 50cm high of mud and guano with some grass and seaweed incorporated. A single egg is laid in October and juveniles fledge between mid March and April. They have a circumpolar range betweeen 65 S and 20 south and breed on Subantarctic Islands, Including South Georgia and islands off southern South America. In the Falklands they are also found on Beauchene, Saunders, West Point and New Island.<br />
The Jasons (Grand, Elephant and Steeple) are a chain of islands 40 miles (64km) north and west off West Falkland towards Patagonia. Steeple is 6 by 1 mile (10Km by 1.6km) in size. From the coast the land rises steeply to a rocky ridge running along the length. <br />
THIS ISLAND HAS THE LARGEST BLACK-BROWED COLONY IN THE WORLD WITH 100,000+ PAIRS. The island is owned by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) Falklands Conservation have an ongoing research project with the Albatross on Steeple Jason.<br />

They have a circumpolar range betweeen 65 S and 20 south and breed on Subantarctic Islands, Including South Georgia and islands off southern South America. In the Falklands they are also found on Beauchene, Saunders, West Point and New Island.<br />
The Jasons (Grand, Elephant and Steeple) are a chain of islands 40 miles (64km) north and west off West Falkland towards Patagonia. Steeple is 6 by 1 mile (10Km by 1.6km) in size. From the coast the land rises steeply to a rocky ridge running along the length. <br />

Whether it be in the adult stock, chick recruitment into the population or sub-adult mortality. Birds are ringed to identify individuals which is also showing high pair and nest site fidelity. During research period the birds are marked with orange paint to observe their location at sea and to ensure that each bird in the study area is censused which allows for less handling during the season.<br />

  • Wild dogs or painted wolves (Lycaon pictus) licking in the inside of each other's mouths - which is a greeting. <br />
Savuti channel, Linyanti region.<br />
BOTSWANA. Southern Africa.<br />
STATUS: ENDANGERED. THEY ARE THE MOST ENDANGERED LARGE CARNIVORE IN AFRICA AND THE SECOND MOST ENDANGERED CANID IN THE WORLD. This is due to habitat distruction, over-hunting and rabies.<br />
HABITAT: Wide tolerance. Prefer to hunt in open plains but then take refuge in wooded areas, often in mopane forests. They are crepuscular (early morning and dusk) and diurnal but will hunt at night during a full moon. <br />
They weigh 25-30 kg's with a shoulder height of 65cm.<br />
Wild dogs are the most successful hunters in the bush and they hunt co-operatively in packs and maintain a speed of 60km p/h for about 5km. Once caught the victim in quickly torn apart and devoured to prevent hyaenas and lions from stealing the carcass. Wild dogs take care of their young and sick and will readily share their food with other pack members. The whole pack helps to raise the young which are born of the dominant pair. (alpha male and female)<br />
They contact rabies from domestic dogs as they often cross through agricultural and rural areas.

  • King Penguins (Aptenodytes p. patagonica). Adult with day old chick on its feet.<br />
Volunteer Point, Johnson's Harbour, East Falkland Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
RANGE: Circumpolar, breeding on Subantarctic Islands. Extensive colonies found in South Georgia, Marion, Crozet, Kerguelen and Macquarie Islands. The Falklands represent its most northerly range. They are highly gregarious which probably accounts for it common association with colonies of Gentoo Penguins.<br />
King Penguins are the largest and most colourful penguins found in the Falklands. They have a unique breeding cycle. The incubation of one egg lasts for 54-55 days and chick rearing 11-12 months. As the complete cycle takes more than one year a pair will generally only breed twice in three years.
