Garuma Gull

Garuma Gull

The garuma gull is a survivor in this land of extremes. With eggs adapted to withstand the baking hot days and freezing nights, the infants have some protection from the elements. But it’s after hatching, when the young demand constant feeding the parents must make the daily 200km commute to the Pacific Ocean in search of food.

Guanaco

Guanaco

Guanaco, the South American camel, are hard and efficient foragers. The tough, sparse vegetation of the Andes foothills provide little nourishment, but the guanaco’s evolved digestive system draws the last drop of goodness from each dry piece of matter. And this nutrition is vital, especially for guanaco females as they labour and give birth.

Humboldt Penguin

Humboldt Penguin

While most of its relatives are adapted to extreme cold, the Humbolt penguin is at home in one of the world’s hottest locations. South America’s Atcama desert is hot, dry and unforgiving. But at the western edge of the Atcama is the Pacific Ocean, and the rugged coastline is the unlikely home to the Humbolt penguin.

Marine Iguana

Marine Iguana

Marine iguanas of the Galápagos Islands represent evolution in transition. These cold-blooded creatures start their day basking in the revitalising sun: a motionless mass, the only movement being the occasion bob of the head as males signal to females. When they are sufficiently warmed, the iguanas take to the water, grazing like underwater sheep at algae and seaweed.

Rhea

Rhea

It is late spring and expectant rhea mothers gather around a communal nest waiting for their turn to lay. At the end of a week the nest bulges with over twenty eggs. But, in an unusual twist the females abandon the site. In the world of the rhea it is the role of the male to care for the eggs.

Seabird/Anchovy

Seabird/Anchovy

The intense equatorial sun beating down on the nutrient-rich Pacific Ocean creates ideal conditions for plankton; this in turn attracts shoals of anchovy. The Inca tern dives with pinpoint accuracy into the swirling mass to catch a single fish, while the pelican takes a ‘grab bag’ approach: filling its massive bill with the catch.

Vampire Bat

Vampire Bat

Of the nearly one thousand species of bats in the world most feed on fruit or insects, but three species feed on blood – the vampire bats. At a cattle ranch in rural Venezuela the herd are housed for the night. Here they may be safer from larger predators, but for the vampire bats the cattle in the barn are easy targets.

Arctic Fox – New Coat for Camouflage

Arctic Fox – New Coat for Camouflage

The arctic fox is found in treeless coastal areas of Alaska and develops a thick, warm white coat in the winter. It has fur on its footpads so that it can travel on the snow and ice-hunting for prey. In the winter, the fox follows polar bears hoping to eat leftovers, but hopes not to become a bear meal itself.

Caribou

Caribou

In winter when the Arctic tundra is covered in ice, caribou move to the forests in the south. It is a harsh time for the caribou and not all will survive, but, warmed by their dense fur coats, they dig craters in the snow to find plants to eat.

Emperor Penguin – Long Winter Wait

Emperor Penguin – Long Winter Wait

Emperor penguins breed in the heart of the Antarctic winter when temperatures reach -60C – cold enough to make human skin freeze and teeth crack. They waddle and toboggan for up to 60km across the frozen sea to reach their breeding colonies, where they huddle tightly together to keep warm.

Japanese Macaques – Monkeys in Snow

Japanese Macaques – Monkeys in Snow

The mountainous home of Japanese macaques is completely covered with snow in winter and, with their thick winter coat these monkeys are able to survive winter temperatures of -15C and snow more than 1m deep. Food is scarce and they survive off their fat store, supplemented with any tree buds they can find and by chewing on relatively un-nutritious bark.

Kea – Mischievous Mountain Parrot

Kea – Mischievous Mountain Parrot

Unlike its rainforest cousins, the kea is a parrot of the mountains – the world’s only alpine parrot. Found only in the southern Alps of New Zealand it can be seen in winter searching for berries beneath the snow. But, since people and livestock moved into their habitat, some rogue keas have found a new source of high energy protein – sheep!
