Saguaros reach their arms to the sky in this starlight silhouette at the Sonoran Desert National Monument in Arizona.
Just south of Phoenix, a captivating desert landscape protects these majestic cacti, which can take 100 years to start growing arms. If you’re in the area, make a day trip and be sure to stay after the sun goes down — the night sky viewing is some of the best in the United States.

This American crocodile at Everglades National Park has either been streaming for far too long, or it is thermoregulating its body and head temperature by mouth “gaping.” We think it’s option 2.
Different species of reptiles will sometimes sit motionless with their mouth open. It’s not considered aggressive behavior, but thought to be a way to regulate their temperature.
Although they look similar, alligators are more numerous in Florida than crocodiles. Gators are darker, have a broader snout, and are typically found in freshwater habitats. Crocodiles, on the other hand, are rare and secretive creatures that inhabit coastal, brackish, and salt-water habitats and are typically lighter colored.
One of the best ways to view American crocs is to visit the Flamingo section of Everglades National Park. This is where Robert Kramer recently stopped by and they were lucky enough to capture this toothy grin from a safe distance away with a zoom lens on their camera.

This black-billed magpie took advantage of Wind Cave National Park’s new bison ride-share program.
One of America’s oldest national parks, you can find wildlife roaming, and riding through, the rolling prairie grasslands and forested hillsides.
