Hippos swim in the waters of St Lucia estuary north of the coastal city of Durban in this April 12, 2006 file photo. You know the fishing is “not run of the mill” when your guide points to the path you're on and says “those are hippo tracks”. But if you are after tigerfish, you sometimes need to stray onto a hippo-beaten path. (Photo by Mike Hutchings/Reuters)

A macaw flies over buildings with the Avila mountain behind in Caracas March 31, 2015. Caracas, the world's second most violent city according to the United Nations, also suffers terrible traffic and residents spend hours in massive lines for scarce products. However, on antennae, rooves and windowsills, blue-and-yellow macaws (or Ara ararauna) break the harsh routine. Though originally native to rainforests from Panama to Paraguay, they have adapted well to Caracas thanks to the exuberant tropical vegetation surging between skyscrapers.
