Bottlenosed Dolphin, Tursiops truncates, Port St Johns, South Africa. Bottlenosed Dolphins are highly intelligent and sociable animals. They have daily routines that include time for play. Here I followed a pod of Dolphins as they playfully surfed the huge waves of the South African Wildcoast. I was lucky with this image when almost the entire pod simultaneously jumped out the wave.

A Macroscelides micus elephant shrew found in the remote deserts of southwestern Africa is shown in this handout photo from the California Academy of Sciences released to Reuters on June 26, 2014. The new mammal discovered in the remote desert of western Africa resembles a long-nosed mouse in appearance but is more closely related genetically to elephants, a California scientist who helped identify the tiny creature said on June 26, 2014. The new species of elephant shrew inhabits an ancient volcanic formation in Namibia and sports red fur that helps it blend in with the color of its rocky surroundings, said John Dumbacher, one of a team of biologists behind the discovery. Genetic testing of the creature – which weighs up to an ounce (28 grams) and measures 7.5 inches (19 cm) in length, including its tail – revealed its DNA to be more akin to much larger mammals.
