Named for its distinctively shaped skull, the flat-headed cat is one of the world’s most endangered and elusive felines.
Weighing in at less than the size of a domestic cat, this species roams the swampy peat forests of their native Southeast Asia. To navigate their muddy habitat, these cats are equipped with claws that don’t fully retract and partially webbed paws! 🐾
#NatGeoExplorer and #PhotoArk founded @JoelSartore documented this flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) at the Taiping Zoo. Photo Ark uses the power of photography to inspire people to delve into the captivating lives of wildlife, revealing their remarkable behaviors and exploring solutions to safeguard them from growing threats.

Video by @joelsartore | Winnifred is a red-backed bearded saki that calls @theomahazoo home. Both males and females of this species sport thick beards and buns on their heads. Living in groups of up to 55 individuals, these monkeys spend most of their time foraging for their favorite foods—nuts and seeds.

Video by @joelsartore | Despite this yellow-legged frog’s muscular appearance, the species is prone to flight over fight when faced with danger. When frightened, they'll dive to the bottom of a body of water and take refuge among stones or vegetation, remaining still until the threat has passed. Their ability to evade predators is further helped by their coloration, which usually blends well with the color of rocks and soil in their environment. Video taken @oaklandzoo .

Can you count how many legs this giant African millipede has?
#NatGeoExplorer and #PhotoArk founder @JoelSartore documented this species (Archispirostreptus gigas) at the @lincolnchildrenszoo.

別只關注可愛的熊貓和企鵝了,蜜獾才不在乎形象
其他那些被誤解的自然界「怪咖」也是如此!
牠們擁有各種奇特本領,像是長滿藻類的樹懶毛髮、像蝙蝠耳朵般敏銳的指猴
證明了不靠外表也能大放異彩!

El proyecto ‘Photo Ark’ de National Geographic, dirigido por el fotógrafo Joel Sartore, es un esfuerzo de varios años para documentar todas las especies que viven en zoológicos y santuarios de vida silvestre, inspirar acciones a través de la educación y ayudar a salvar la vida silvestre apoyando los esfuerzos de conservación en el terreno.

Video by @joelsartore | The largest of the 10,000 known millipede species, the giant African millipede reaches anywhere from 4 to 12 inches in length (10-30 cm). Millipedes are detrivores, which means that they feed on dead and decaying organic matter within their habitat. Once food is digested, these critters leave their nutrient-rich droppings all along the forest floor, creating new soil that helps plant life and other species that rely on the rainforest to thrive.

Video by @joelsartore | Cəmi beş funt (2,2 kq) ağırlığında olan şimal rokxopper pinqvinləri ən kiçik ucluq pinqvin növlərindən biridir. Ancaq ölçüdə çatışmayan şeyləri böyük şəxsiyyətlərlə tamamlayırlar. Bu quşların yuva qurma yerləri, cütləşmə hüquqları və yemək üçün yarışarkən tez-tez üzgəcləri ilə bir-birlərinə şillə vurduqları və açıq pullarla döyülmələri müşahidə olunur. Həm də olduqca səslidirlər, yerlərini həyat yoldaşları və balaları ilə bölüşmək, eləcə də arzuolunmaz ziyarətçilərdən çəkindirmək üçün yüksək səsli zənglərdən istifadə edirlər. Video @thecalgaryzoo çəkilib.

Video by @joelsartore | Weighing just five pounds (2.2 kg), northern rockhopper penguins are one of the smallest species of crested penguins. But what they lack in size they make up for with big personalities. These birds are often observed slapping each other with their flippers and jabbing with open bills when competing for nesting sites, mating rights, and food. They are also quite vocal, using loud calls to share their location with mates and chicks, as well as to ward off any unwanted visitors. Video taken @thecalgaryzoo.
