The youngster had been taken to the coast by his mother just as the sea began to freeze. Fascinated by the holes in the newly forming ice he leapt in and out of the water.

Wildlife photographer Steven J Kazlowski was lucky enough to capture the moment off the coast of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, America.

AND IT IS…….

Images nightmares of people who suffer from obsessive fear of sea monsters.

There is an ancient dance ritual performed by the Australian Aborigines. Its aim is to educate children. A man wades into the tide pools in search of fish. All of a sudden, he steps on something that causes him to scream from pain.

This is the most venomous fish known. It reaches up to 35 cm in length and lives in the Indo-Pacific region and northern Australian waters, from Brisbane to 600 km north of Perth. Stonefish may be found from exposed sand and mud in tidal inlets to depths of 40 m. Lying on the sea bed, it is perfectly camouflaged and looks exactly like an encrusted rock. It feeds on small fish and shrimps. When they swim by, the stonefish opens its mouth with lightning speed and gulps them down. The whole attack lasts for just 0,015 seconds.

Golden monkeys are rare and obscure, and they’re just beginning to be studied. They are highly endangered, so it’s a race to study them before they disappear. Living in the mountains of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan Provinces, Chinese golden monkeys are seeing their habitats disappear rapidly as the countryside is cleared for more pastures, villages, and roads.

The monkeys are killed for their beautiful fire-orange fur and also their bones, which are believed by Asians to hold special medicinal powers.
