  • The critically endangered Small Tooth Sawfish, Pristis pectinata, gather offshore the Florida coastline on deep, silty reefs during winter. This species' population has declined by more than 95% due to the destruction and alternation of coastal habitats such as mangroves and the use of nets, which easily trap these giant fish. Historically ranging in the USA from the Carolinas to Texas, the species exists only in Florida nowadays, where it's protected and considered stable.

  • A female Dimidiochromis kiwinge, retrieves her young fry, which swim into her mouth for protection. This species is just one of more than 1,000 cichlids endemic to Lake Malawi that are known as maternal mouth brooders. After fertilization, the female holds the eggs and later young in her mouth for approximately three weeks. During this period, she abstains from eating and dedicates herself to her fry until they are large enough to fend for themselves.
