Is that a giant rabbit? 👀 Nope, it’s the Patagonian mara (Dolichotis patagonum)! Weighing up to 35 lbs (15.9 kg), this long-legged rodent is built for speed. In fact, it can run faster than an Olympic sprinter—reaching speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h)! Found in parts of central and southern Argentina, this critter inhabits open grasslands where it spends much of its time basking in the Sun and foraging for food.

Act like a jumping spider and jump for joy! Except, these tiny arachnids actually jump for something else: prey. True to their name, jumping spiders don’t use webs to catch their next meal. Instead, they leap—pouncing on their food. There are more than 6,000 known species of jumping spiders in the family Salticidae, like the Habronattus sansoni pictured here. They can be found on all of Earth’s continents, except Antarctica, and are recognizable thanks to their large, forward-facing eyes.

Marvelous Spatuletail

Northern Peru

📷 Carlos Altamirano

The Marvelous Spatuletail (Loddigesia mirabilis) is an endangered hummingbird endemic to northern Peru, famous for the male's spectacular tail feathers, which feature two long, wire-like feathers with large, iridescent "spatules" (discs) at the end, used in elaborate courtship displays. Males have a blue crown, turquoise throat, and a black stripe down their white chest, while females are less colorful and have shorter tails with smaller spatules. They inhabit cloud forest edges and scrublands, feeding on nectar from specific flowers, and are a major draw for birdwatchers, with conservation efforts focused on protecting their habitat.
