Rare White Tigers

The cubs, two boys and a girl, arrived in July. According to the Daily Mail newspaper, only one out of every 10,000 Bengal tigers have the dramatic coloring. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
The zoo has staged a contest to name one of the boys. Zoo employees will name the others. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
The cubs will be baptized this week, the paper reports. Male Bengal tigers can grow to 500 pounds, females up to 375 pounds, and they can measure eight feet long. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
White tigers don't live long in the wild, in part because their white coats stand out. In the past century, only 12 have been seen in the wild, according to the Daily Mail. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)
At the zoo, their life expectancy is close to 20 years. Here, one of the cubs cuddles with mom. (AP Photo/Petr David Josek)

Wildebeast
The kalahari desert can be a tough place to live especially in the dry season. Food and water is scares and the animals have to tolerate daytime temperates in excess of 40 degrees celsius. Wildebeest often hang around the waterholes from 9:30 in the mornings forcing their way in between the other wildebeest to get a few sips of this precious liquid. During September month the animals have to endure the sweeping winds as well and with the dry conditions this creates bowls of dust.

Fox
Shot from the window of my bedroom, two floors up as the sun was coming up very early in the morning. My first view of a wild fox, and he was stunning. Was so quiet but he responded to the noise of the camera and glanced up. (Photo and caption courtesy Sam Morris/National Geographic Your Shot)

Rare giraffes make comeback
In this Aug. 2, 2009 photo, a group of giraffes from Africa's most endangered giraffe subspecies walk through scrub brush near Koure, Niger. By all accounts, they should be extinct. Instead, their numbers have quadrupled to 200 since 1996, an unlikely boon experts credit to the concurrence of an impoverished government keen for revenue that has enacted laws to protected them, a conservation program that encourages people to support them, and a rare harmony with humans who have accepted their presence.

Sandstone Wave
Photographer Simon Byrne was one of the lucky few given the secret location of a stunning sandstone formation called The Wave. Simon needed a special permit before he was given "rough guidelines" to find the phenomenon in a remote area of Arizona. Located somewhere in the 112,500 acre Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, the Wave is near the Arizona and Utah border on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes. (Simon Byrne/Rex USA)
