  • Gloved to ward off the possibility of a nasty bite, Berkeley biologist Robert J. Full prepares to pluck a gecko from his office door. A source of inspiration to roboticists around the world, Full's Poly-PEDAL laboratory is one of the premier research centers in the field of animal locomotion. (Polypedal means "many-footed"; PEDAL is an acronym for the Performance, Energetics, and Dynamics of Animal Locomotion.) UC Berkeley (California) From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 91.

  • Professor Robert J. Full, in front of a poster of a ghost crab, in his Poly-PEDAL biology lab at UC Berkeley. Full studies animal locomotion on miniaturized treadmills, using hi-speed imaging and force measurements to map out how these creatures actually propel themselves. Cockroaches, crabs, geckos, centipedes have all been studied intently. Full's Poly-PEDAL Lab at UC Berkeley has been working with roboticists for years, supplying them with information on small animal locomotion that is used to construct innovative robots. UC Berkeley, CA, USA.

  • A man stands in the blood of a slaughtered cow on the street in Dhaka, Bangladesh. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 8-Diets.) Bangladesh has the world's fourth largest Muslim population, and during the three days of Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, Dhaka's streets run red with the blood of thousands of butchered cattle. The feast comes at the conclusion of the Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. In both the Koran and the Bible, God told the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son to show supreme obedience to Allah (God). At the last moment, his son was spared and Ibrahim was allowed to sacrifice a ram instead. In Dhaka, as in the rest of the Muslim world, Eid al- Adha commemorates this tale, and the meat of the sacrificed animals is distributed to relatives, friends, and the poor.

Participants of the Mela gather to cleanse themselves spiritually by bathing in the waters of India's sacred rivers.

  • An ostrich at Sossusvlei, in the central Namib desert, southwestern Namibia. Sossusvlei is a clay pan in the central Namib Desert, lying within the Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia. Fed by the Tsauchab River, it is known for the high, red sand dunes which surround it forming a major sand sea. Vegetation, such as the camelthorn tree, is watered by infrequent floods of the Tsauchab River, which slowly soak into the underlying clay. (from Wikipedia).

  • Faith D'Aluisio, one of the authors of the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets, weighs the food items consumed by Saleh Abdul Fadlallah at Birqash Camel Market, outside Cairo, Egypt. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  Contrary to popular belief, camels’ humps don’t store water; they are a reservoir of fatty tissue that minimizes heat-trapping insulation in the rest of their bodies; the dromedary, or Arabian camel, has a single hump, while Asian camels have two. Camels are well suited for desert climes: their long legs and huge, two-toed feet with leathery pads enable them to walk easily in sand, and their eyelids, nostrils, and thick coat protect them from heat and blowing sand. These characteristics, along with their ability to eat thorny vegetation and derive sufficient moisture from tough green herbage, allow camels to survive in very inhospitable terrain.

  • Lan Guihua, a widowed farmer, prepares a chicken for her guests and neighbors at her home in Ganjiagou Village, Sichuan Province, China.
