一對(格陵蘭)幼犬 Pair of Huskie Pups, Herbert Island, Greenland

這些年輕的愛犬生活在格陵蘭赫伯特島,它們會在長大後成爲這個島上的主力軍,在零下溫度的厚重積雪中拉着雪橇長時間的勞累生存.據說,約五千多年前它伴隨着移民的人從西伯利亞來到格陵蘭,這種格陵蘭犬在溫度接近零下70華氏度(零下57攝氏度) 能拉重量達1000磅( 450公斤)
Greenland dogs (又稱雪橇犬)大約在12000年前西伯利亞的一種狼成爲了今天的格陵蘭犬。但是今天的人們很難從格陵蘭犬身上看到狼的影子。它實在不像狼無論是外貌和體形,更主要的是格陵蘭犬以完全失去了狼的本性。格陵蘭犬非常溫馴,因此在格陵蘭地區非常受歡迎。儘管它的性格比較溫順,但生命力非常頑強,甚至可以在北極零下十幾攝氏度的環境下在野外過夜。由於它確實是一種非常優秀的工作犬,因此現在不僅在格陵蘭島廣爲流傳,現在,在瑞典和挪威等地也受到了好評。翻譯:casinnaPhotograph by David McLain
These young pups on Herbert Island, Greenland, will grow up to be powerful, thick-furred sled dogs conditioned to survive long periods of exertion in subzero temperatures. A hardy breed descended from canines that accompanied immigrants who traveled from Siberia to Greenland some 5,000 years ago, Greenland dogs pull sleds that weigh upwards of a thousand pounds (450 kilograms) in temperatures near minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 57 degrees Celsius).
大白鯊 Great White Shark, Gansbaai, South Africa

在南非的幹斯拜(Gansbaai),一隻大白鯊正在巡遊,它有着閃亮如匕首般鋒利的牙齒。在世界範圍內,這種最令人生畏的鯊魚數量正在不斷減少,科學家們警告說這個物種可能會有滅絕的危險。

刺毛蟲 Slug Caterpillar, Manu River, Peru

在祕魯的摩奴河附近,一條身上長着刷子似的吸管的刺毛蟲正盤踞在一片葉子上。這種肥嘟嘟的毛蟲身上顏色豔麗的毛髮,或稱爲吸管中含有輕度毒性的毒素,以此禦敵。然而,僅僅碰觸這種刺毛蟲就會引起毒素的傳遞,將導致紅疹,腫脹,在某些情況下還會出現發燒和噁心等症狀。

The stinging hairs, or suckers, of these brightly colored, fleshy caterpillars contain mildly venomous toxins used for defense purposes. However, simply touching a slug caterpillar triggers toxin transfer, which causes rashes, swelling, and in some cases, fever and nausea.
