An ibis is a wading bird that belongs to the family of ibises and spoonbills. Ibises inhabit salt marshes, swamps, areas near the lakes and rivers, tropical mangroves, forests and marshy mountain meadows where they walk slowly with their heads down probing the muddy surface for insects and crustaceans.
Shy and wary of intruders, a black bear cub glances through two aspen trees. Only yards away in the brushes is a cinnamon-colored sibling eating berries on a bush. Although not visible, the mother bear was surely close by in the woods, creating a potentially dangerous situation for anyone venturing too close.
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a shy, nocturnal omnivore, typically hunting at night, dusk and dawn. It is an efficient and lethal predator, due to its acute senses of sight, smell and hearing. Striking a perfect pose, this kit carefully surveys his surroundings before entering his den in a woodpile in southeastern Nebraska.
