Pictures of arctic foxes taken at the Southwick Zoo. Arctic Foxes are also known as Snow Foxes due to their native environment of the Arctic Tundra and their snow white pelt. These foxes are actually grey/brown in color during the summer months and don’t get their snowy white coat until the winter season. |
|
-tn.jpg) | Bats
Pictures of bats, mostly Malayan Flying Foxes. Malayan Flying Foxes are primarily found in rainforest habitats throughout Southeast Asia. Bats are very hard to photograph, because they prefer the dark, and I don't like to use flash because of their sensitivity to light. Bats are rarely dangerous to humans. |
| -tn.jpg) | Bears
Bear pictures that I have taken in zoos around the world. Kodiaks in the wild eat mountain blueberries, washed up whale carcass, and their favorite Pacific Salmon. They can be a wide range of different shades of brown and may grow up to a ton in weight. |

|
 | Beavers
Beaver pictures, taken in Phillipston, Massachusetts, on a pond. Beavers are considered a keystone species because their creation of dams in shallow valleys leads to the development of wetlands. These wetlands serve as an important ecosystem for many other animals including half of the endangered and threatened species in North America. |
| |
 | Binturongs
Pictures of binturongs. Binturongs have a cat like face and a shaggy hair covered body similiar to a small bear. This unusual look has lead to it also being known as a "bear cat". These are nocturnal animals who are classified as carnivores although their diets mainly consist of fruit. |
|  | Bison
The American Bison (Bison bison) is the largest land
animal currently living in the Americas. Enormous herds of bison once
occupied the American Great Plains, and were critically important to
Native American Plains tribes as sources of meat, hides, horn, bone and
sinew. |
|

|  | Camels
Pictures of camels, which have an amazing capacity for storing water to aid surviving harsh desert climates. These camels are in a zoo, and not the desert. Camels that have one hump are known as dromedaries while camels with two humps are called bacterian. In either case these humps are used to store fat in times of scarce food. |

The photographs on this page are all of Eastern Chipmunks, which is the only species found in the easternmost part of the United States and Canada. |

 | Pigs
Domestic pigs (Suidae sus domestica), is a sub-species of the Suidae sus species, which also includes the wild boar. Because of their cultivation by humans, domestic pigs are the most plentiful variety of pig worldwide. Domestic pigs are intelligent and adaptable, and their ability to thrive unattended in wild conditions has led to the existence of populations of feral, or wild pigs in areas where they have either escaped from their owners or been intentionally left to breed wild. 16-th Century European explorers often left small herds of pigs on islands along their routes, knowing that they could rely on the resulting wild population for fresh meat when they returned to the area. |
