Lightning veins the Eyjafjallajokull volcano’s ash plume, which roiled air travel this spring. Such “dirty thunderstorms” may occur when rock and ice particles loosed by exploding magma collide in the atmosphere.
Cormorant Fisherman, China
Photo: Chris McLennanA fisherman on the Li River near Xingping, Guilin Province, China, uses cormorants to help him. The fish are attracted to the light from the lamp, and the cormorants, which have rings around their necks to prevent them from swallowing the larger fish, catch the fish and bring them to the raft. Once the fisherman has enough to feed his family the rings are removed and the birds are fed.
The Cape pangolin (Smutsia temminckii), with its long tongue and strong claws, is designed for tearing open termite mounds and gobbling up the termites inside. It curls up into an armoured ball when threatened, protected by large scales made of keratin. Pangolins are vulnerable to overcollection for the muti trade. | photo by Nigel J. Dennis | +
