- For years, nobody knew what this mysterious wild cat species, the güiña, sounded like. Today we do! Thanks to Fauna Andina, a conservation and research center in central-south Chile, we can share the sounds of this cat. Hand-raised by the center after arriving as a ten-day old orphan, today his vocalizations announce he is one happy cat; those low, fast-repeating sounds you hear are made when he’s excited. #cat #guina #PhotoArk

- Happy World Wildlife Day! Created in 2013, this day aims to connect people with the natural world and inspire continued learning and action for animals and plants around the globe. From food to fuel to medicines, people everywhere rely on wildlife and natural resources to meet our needs.To ensure we can all continue to enjoy the benefits and beauty of nature, we must come together and work to preserve plant and animal species so that they are able to thrive for generations to come. #WorldWildlifeDay #WWD2025 #PhotoArk
- Polar bears like Koluk have been melting the hearts of people everywhere for decades, yet despite their popularity, the species has continued to decline as many of us find it difficult to know how to save a species that is threatened by an issue as large as climate change. This #InternationalPolarBearDay, become a polar bear protector by reducing the amount of electricity you use. Start by bundling up in extra layers instead of running your heater, or pledge to walk or use public transport instead of a personal vehicle whenever possible. Simple changes like these can do a lot to cut back on energy use, which helps to reduce carbon in the air and global warming. Plus it saves you money! #bear #polarbear #mammal #animal #wildlife #photography #animalphotography #wildlifephotography #studioportrait #PhotoArk
- Each year in the fall and winter months, International Bird Rescue experiences an “Oiled Bird Season” as migrating birds like this common murre pass through naturally occurring oil seeps, contaminating their feathers in the process. After they are washed with a low concentration of Dawn dish soap and clean water by experienced staff, they are placed in a protective pen equipped with grooming dryers, where they begin to preen their feathers back into place. The complete realignment of feathers in a tight overlapping pattern creates a naturally waterproof seal. Once healthy and waterproof, they are released back into the wild. #murre #bird #animal #wildlife #video #footage #reel #PhotoArk
- Giraffes like this Angolan giraffe are the world's tallest mammals, thanks to their towering legs and long necks. Typically, these beautiful animals roam the open grasslands across Africa in small groups of about half a dozen. Using their height to their advantage, these ungulates browse on leaves and buds in treetops that few other animals can reach, relying on their 21-inch long tongue to help successfully secure each meal. #WorldGiraffeDay #giraffe #mammal #animal #wildlife #photography #animalphotography #wildlifephotography #studioportrait #PhotoArk
- This slithering serpent is a Mojave Desert sidewinder. Found in deserts throughout the southwestern United States, sidewinders are distinguished among rattlesnakes by the horn-like scales on their heads, which is why many might refer to this species as a horned rattlesnake. Their sidewinding motion, as seen in the clip above, is another unique trait that allows the snake to minimize its contact with the hot desert sand. #sidewinder #desert #Mojave #snake #rattle #rattlesnake #video #footage #reel #PhotoArk
- Living in open grasslands and roosting in abandoned underground burrows, burrowing owls are built differently than your average owl. Longer legs allow this bird to sprint after prey while hunting and they’ve become masters of acoustic mimicry. When threatened by a predator, this owl will retreat into its burrow and make rattling and hissing noises mimicking the warnings produced by a rattlesnake, warding off anyone that might cause harm.

- The Guira cuckoo from South America is an extremely social bird that can often be seen in flocks of six to eight birds - a number that can grow to 20 after breeding season ends! This species breeds communally, meaning that several females will lay their eggs in the same nest. With so many parents trying to attend to their eggs, competition can be fierce and often only a quarter of the eggs will hatch successfully. This doesn't seem to be a problem for the birds though, who are the most common cuckoo found throughout areas ranging from the mouth of the Amazon River to central Argentina. #CuckooDay #birds #animals #wildlife #video #reel #footage #PhotoArk
- In 2019, fourteen Loa water frogs were airlifted to Zoo Nacional Chile after being found in a muddy puddle - all that was left of their habitat in the Atacama desert. Dehydrated and malnourished, herpetologists nursed these incredible amphibians back to health. Just one year later, these frogs successfully mated and produced 200 offspring - a sign of hope for this critically endangered species. #frog #waterfrog #WorldWaterFrogDay #animal #wildlife #video #reel #footage #PhotoArk
- I had the opportunity to onboard this cutie to the Photo Ark several years ago. When they’re born, panda cubs are 1/900th the size of their mother. For scale, that means babies like this one were once the size of a stick of butter. But as we know, baby pandas won’t stay tiny for long - as they reach adulthood they have the potential to weigh nearly 330 pounds. Talk about a growth spurt! #panda #giantpanda #cub #baby #animal #wildlife #NationalPandaDay #animalphotography #wildlifephotography #studioportrait #PhotoArk
- This cute critter is a striped polecat. Found throughout the African continent, this species inhabits diverse areas from coastal sand dunes to forests. They are nocturnal in nature, spending their days sleeping in secluded areas and emerging at night to hunt. As carnivores that feed primarily on beetles and small rodents, polecats can play an important role acting as pest control in areas with pastures, protecting crops local people depend on. #polecat #animal #wildlife #video #footage #reel #PhotoArk
- With a body similar in size to a squirrel, the eyes of the black-headed night monkey look far too big for its body. Though they may look awkward, those big eyes serve an important purpose, improving this monkey’s nocturnal vision, increasing its ability to be active at night. Unlike other nocturnal species, night monkeys lack a tapetum lucidum in the eye, which means they don’t have the typical “eyeshine” seen in animals like cats. Their vision is also monochromatic - night monkeys see the world in shades of gray rather than multiple colors. #monkey #nightmonkey #primate #animal #wildlife #video #footage #reel

- Two four-day- old Macqueen’s bustard chicks inspect their surroundings during a Photo Ark shoot at the National Avian Research Center in Abu Dhabi, UAE. In the wild, these birds would leave the nest immediately after hatching but would remain close to mom, following her as she snatches up insects and passes them to her chicks. While it only takes about a month for chicks to fledge, they stick by mom’s side for several months until they are ready to venture out on their own. Once hunted to near-extinction, international conservation efforts like captive breeding have been made working alongside local governments to bring this species back from the brink. #bustards #chicks #birds #animals #wildlife #video #footage #reel #PhotoArk
- The Sonora mud turtle is found in the northern region of Sonora, Mexico into a small part of Arizona. Given the extremely arid environment in which they live, these turtles must have access to an in-water aquatic habitat to survive. In the water, these turtles feed, avoid predators, and mate. Out of water, they look for areas just along the banks of ponds and streams where soil remains moist so they can safely lay their eggs, ensuring that they won’t dry out. #turtle #mudturtle #animal #wildlife #reptile #video #footage #reel #PhotoArk
- The transparent skin of the sun glass frog gives us an impressive view of the inner workings of this amphibian, with its internal organs, bones, and muscles on full display. These remarkable frogs reside along streams and rivers in the tropical forests of Ecuador, Colombia, and Panama. #glass #frog #amphibian #animal #wildlife #video #reel #footage #PhotoArk
- #SuperbOwlDay is back, and so is everyone’s favorite owl montage! A healthy owl population is a sign of a balanced ecosystem. In order for owls to thrive, populations of the species they prey upon must be abundant and healthy as well - a pattern that continues down the entire food chain. This means that if the health or number of prey species declines, something in the environment has changed and is altering the natural structure of the food web. A world without owls would spell trouble for humans, as their role as a top predator of rodents protects us from the spread of diseases and protects our crops from being raided. #owls #birds #video #reel #footage #PhotoArk
- This Florida barred owl was just 23 days old when I filmed it. A non-migratory species, these owls are found in mature forests with a relatively open understory. Large trees provide ideal places for nesting and perching while the open understory provides space to fly, and the ability to spot and catch prey. Without access to this vital habitat the barred owl would be unable to maintain a stable population, which is why the conservation of older trees in upland woods and wetland areas is so important. #owl #bird #wildlife #video #footage #reel #PhotoArk
