Bog Turtle
Photograph by Joel Sartore; photographed at Zoo Atlanta
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animals
The palm-size bog turtle, smallest in the country, now survives mostly on private lands. Adapted to soggy soils, the species suffers where wetlands are filled or groundwater is diverted.

本月每日一图的主题是：动物
这只巴掌大的牟氏水龟是这个国家里最小的一种龟，现在大多生活在私有土地上。依赖于潮湿的土壤，这一物种正因湿地被填和地下水开采而受到威胁。

Squirrel Portrait, Banff
Photograph by Melissa Brandts
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animals
My husband and I were exploring Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park-Canada when we stopped for a timed picture of the two of us. We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take the picture when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became intriqued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our shot! A once in a lifetime moment! We were laughing about this little guy for days!!

本月每日一图的主题是：动物
我丈夫和我在游览加拿大班夫国家公园里的明尼湾卡湖时，停下来用定时功能为我们两人合影。我们把相机放在石头上，摆放姿势准备拍照时，这只好奇的小地松鼠出现了，仿佛是和相机早有预谋取，当快门声响起时，它正好跳到我们的镜头里！真是一生中难得的一个瞬间！之后的好几天里，我们谈起这个小家伙都会哈哈大笑！！

We spend so much time looking for wildlife far from home, I thought I’d try my hand at paying a little more attention to local wildlife. This colony lives along a thin band of open space running along used car lots and suburban neighborhoods.

我们已经花了那么多时间出远门去寻找野生动植物，我觉得我应该尝试着多关注一下本地的野生动植物。这群土拨鼠分布在一块细长的带状开阔地上，沿途有许多二手车市场和郊外居民区。

Translucent Nudibranch
Photograph by Jennifer Hayes
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animals
Built to feed exclusively on corals like this spindly gorgonian, a translucent 1.7-inch-long (4.3-centimeter-long) Phyllodesmium iriomotense houses its branching digestive gland within tentacle-like cerata—outgrowths the animal can shed if under attack. This species is one of the few colorless nudibranchs.

本月每日一图的主题是：动物
以珊瑚（比如这种细长的柳珊瑚）为食、半透明、1.7英寸（4.3厘米）长的Phyllodesmium iriomotense在受到攻击时，会把它枝状的消化腺缩回到触手（比如裸鳃）中——就像那些断肢求生的动物。这种海兔是罕见的几种无色品种之一。

Twelve-year-old male lion brothers Tonyi, left, and Tombo lie with each other at Werribee Open Range Zoo, 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of Melbourne, Australia, in September 2008. Werribee Open Range Zoo occupies 225 hectares (556 acres) of land, which allows visitors in safari buses to get closer to animals. The photographs were taken by a camera in a hide and triggered remotely.
