Bright red stink bug hatchlings gather together to amplify their warning coloration, a cluster of mushrooms glow in the darkness of the rainforest floor and a flying frog spreads its foot membranes wide to glide from branch to branch in this colorful and fascinating gallery of Bornean images from Ch’ien Lee. Bowl-shaped orchid leaves catch falling leaf litter which degrades into fertilizer for the plant and a parasitic flower lures pollinating flies with the smell of carrion. Can you find the green katydid and the brown grasshopper that mimic leaves so well that they are barely detectable?
Katherine Feng brings us a new selection of panda images from China including shots of an extremely rare brown-and-white panda named Qi Zai who was rescued from the wild in the Qinling Mountains of Shaanxi Province. The giant pandas of the Qinling Mountains are considered to be a subspecies of giant pandas. While most of the pandas (including those of the Qinling Mountains) are black-and-white, Qi Zai is unique and rare because of his brown-and-white color variation.
Though the exact cause of this color variation is not known, it is suspected that it has a genetic basis as a few others have occurred in the past. All recorded brown and white pandas have been from the Qinling Mountains which has a giant panda population of about 300 individuals. This panda subspecies is rare and quality photos of them are even rarer! Check out this gallery which also includes new photos of panda babies including newborns of the black-and-white variety.
