Arbol del Tule, Santa Maria del Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico.
The mighty tree in Santa Maria del Tule, has a circumference of over 160 feet at its base, and is between 2000 and 3000 years old, making it one of the oldest living things on earth.
Arbol del Tule is Mexico's most famous tree, and some say the world's largest single biomass. The Tule tree and its environs comprise a unique natural monument, an attraction for locals and visitors alike.
The cypress, known in Spanish as ahuehuete (Taxodium mucronatum), is Mexico's national tree. According to legend, Hernan Cortes cried beneath the boughs of a cypress after the Aztecs defeated the Spanish on La Noche Triste (The Sad Night).
The town of Santa Maria del Tule takes its name from the famous tree and boasts not just one, but seven extremely large and ancient cypress trees.
The largest dwarfs the town's church and is more than 2,000 years old and has a circumference of 54 meters (164 feet) -- the largest girth of any tree on the planet. Imagine... this tree was a sapling at the time when the civilization at Monte Alban was flourishing!
This living ancient tree still growing. It's age is calculated in 2000 years, it's weight is almost 550 tons, a 705 cubic meters volume, diameter of 42 meters.
This tree is often cited as having the largest trunk circumference in the world, but it has for long been thought that it might actually represent the fused trunks of several different individuals. However, recent study of DNA samples from the tree using random amplified polymorphic DNA indicates that it is in fact a single individual

Evergreen shrub or a small tree which can grow to 20 feet tall. It is usually as broad as it is tall, but a coastal ecotype takes on a creeping (horizontal) habit and is usually not more than 6 feet tall. The species is polymorphic with considerable variation and little correlation among the variable characters.
The leaf is simple, 1 1/2 - 4 inch long, elliptic or nearly round, on a short (1/8 in.) petiole. Leaf blades are rounded,
pointed, or slightly notched at the apex. They are arranged alternately and upwardly along the twig, making it appear that
they all grow from one side of the stem. The visible lower surface of the leaf is yellow green. The twigs are green when
young, turning reddish brown, with raised dots (lenticels). The flowers are small greenish white. Individual flowers are less
than 3/8 inch long with 5 narrow white petals and 5 spreading sepals. They are borne in clusters at the leaf axils. The fruit
is an elliptic (plum-like) or nearly round, pink, whitish, or dark-purple drupe. It is 3/4 - 1 1/2 inches long, juicy, and edible.
It contains one large 5 - 6 ridged brown stone and an edible white seed. C. icaco flowers and fruits intermittently throughout the year. Fruits are particularly abundant in summer. Early inhabitants of peninsula Florida discovered that the fruit’s unique flavor, fleshy consistency, and thin skin made it an excellent candidate for jams and jellies and it is still used for this purpose today. The seeds can be roasted and eaten for their almond-like flavor or crushed and added to the jelly. Gopher tortoises, and other wildlife, love to eat the juicy fruit. | University of Florida IFAS Extension. Retrieved May 3rd 2015 from lee.ifas.ufl.edu/Hort/GardenPubsAZ/Cocoplum_Chrysobalanus...
The variable hawk is a polymorphic species of bird of prey. It is widespread and often common in open habitats in western and southern South America.....The name variable hawk is fully deserved, as both sexes occur in several morphs.....Wikipedia.

The Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus), also spelled Gyr Falcon, sometimes Gerfalcon, is the largest of all falcon species. The Gyrfalcon breeds on Arctic coasts and islands of North America, Europe and Asia. It is mainly resident, but some Gyrfalcons disperse more widely after the breeding season, or in winter[1].
The bird's common name comes from French gerfaucon, and in mediaeval Latin is rendered as gyrofalco. The first part of the word may come from Old High German gîr (cf. modern German Geier), "vulture", referring to its size compared to other falcons, or the Latin gȳrus ("circle", "curved path") from the species' circling as it searches for prey, unlike the other falcons in its range[2]. The male gyrfalcon is called a gyrkin in falconry.
Its scientific name is composed of the Latin terms for a falcon, Falco, and for someone who lives in the countryside, rusticolus.
Plumage is very variable in this highly polymorphic species: the archetypal morphs are called "white", "silver", "brown" and "black" though coloration spans a continuous spectrum from nearly all-white birds to very dark ones.
The Gyrfalcon is a bird of tundra and mountains, with cliffs or a few patches of trees. It feeds only on birds and mammals. Like other hierofalcons, it usually hunts in a horizontal pursuit, rather than the Peregrine's speedy stoop from a height. Most prey is killed on the ground, whether they are captured there or, if the victim is a flying bird, forced to the ground. The diet is to some extent opportunistic, but a majority of breeding birds mostly rely on Lagopus grouse. Avian prey can range in size from redpolls to geese and can include gulls, corvids, smaller passerines, waders and other raptors (up to the size of Buteos). Mammalian prey can range in size from shrews to marmots (sometimes 3 times heavier than the assaulting falcon), and often includes include lemmings, voles, ground squirrels and hares. They only rarely eat carrion.
The Gyrfalcon is the official bird of Canada's Northwest Territories.

A species of wader in the Haematopodidae family. It is endemic to New Zealand. The Maori name is torea-pango. They are also known as 'red bills'. "Variable" refers to the frontal plumage, which ranges from pied through mottled to all black. They are polymorphic meaning they have different genetic variants. Blacker birds are more common in the south. All Stewart Island variable oystercatchers are black. They have pink legs, an orange eye ring and red beaks. They are often seen in pairs on the coast all around New Zealand. During breeding, the pair will defend their territory, sometimes aggressively. Once mated pairs rarely divorce. After breeding they may be seen within flocks, or on the edges of flocks, of black and white South Island Pied Oystercatcher (SIPO) which also have vivid orange beaks. After breeding they may even form small flocks of their own. Males are around 678 grams and females slightly larger at around 724 grams. Variables can be identified as they are slightly larger than the SIPO - SIPO are around 550 grams. Occasionally totally black but if they are pied (black and white) they can be easily confused with SIPO. The variable species has less definition between the black and the white area, as well as a mottled band on the leading edges of the underwing. Variables also have a smaller white rump patch which is only a band across the base of the tail rather than a wide wedge shape reaching up to the middle of the back as in the SIPO. When mottled they are sometimes called 'smudgies'. They feed on molluscs, crabs and marine worms. After heavy rain, they sometime go inland in search of earthworms. They can open a shellfish by either hammering a hole in it or getting the bill between the two shells (of a bivalve) and twisting them apart. They breed in North Island, South Island, Stewart Island, and Chatham Islands. They do not breed inland or beside rivers although the SIPO does. They nest on the shore between rocks or on sand dunes by making a scrape out of the sand or shingle, sometimes lined with some seaweed. When in flight they make a high pitched 'kleep kleep' sound. They usually lay 2-3 eggs but they can lay up to 5. The eggs are typically stone coloured with small brown patches all over. Eggs hatch in 25-32 days. Chicks are well camouflaged by their colour and can fly in about 6 weeks. The bird lives up to about 27 years.

Morphologically highly polymorphic species from Puebla and Oaxaca states in Mexico, where it is found wild at
elevations from 4500 to 7500 feet.
It found traditional use in the making of Agave wine (pulque) and the spirit Bacanora in Mexico.
The size of the whole plant, the characteristic number of leaves as well as shape and spininess all vary a lot. Forms like this, with large numbers of nearly orbicular leaves are popular in cultivation. Some young plants sucker freely but they stop doing so as they mature. They can take ten years to flower, and then the whole rosette dies.
M. longiceps from Wandoo NP. This larger worker (this species is strongly polymorphic) was found at the base of a Eucalyptus wandoo tree with a number of her fellow workers. This species is relatively common and widespread on the Australian mainland.

A excellent night at a beautiful preserve in the Jersey pines, the night started off with a few light sprinkles of rain, followed by a beautiful rainbow, some grilling for dinner, a great variety of moths, and the night ending with Great Horned, and Barred Owls!
This expansive property, New Jersey Conservation Foundation's largest, encompasses almost 14 square miles in the heart of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. It is accessible by a network of sandy roads that wind though pitch pine forest and blueberry fields, and run along the preserve’s cedar swamp, shallow lakes and pristine tributaries of the West Branch of the Wading River.
Four new trails totaling nearly 21 miles were recently cleared and blazed. Some are hikers-only footpaths, while others are multi-use trails that are open to bicyclists and horseback riders as well as hikers.
A former cranberry farm, the property was purchased by New Jersey Conservation Foundation in December 2003 after the owner decided he wanted it to be protected forever as a nature preserve. NJCF began an ambitious fund-raising campaign and was able to cover most of the property’s cost.
The property is a rare ecological treasure for the East Coast of the United States, containing some of the most beautiful wetlands in the Pine Barrens and providing critical habitat to more than 50 rare, threatened or endangered species.

Caltha palustris (kingcup, marsh marigold) is an herbaceous perennial plant of the family Ranunculaceae, native to marshes, fens, ditches and wet woodland in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
It becomes most luxuriant in partial shade, but is rare on peat. In the United Kingdom, it is probably one of the most ancient native plants, surviving the glaciations and flourishing after the last retreat of the ice, in a landscape inundated with glacial meltwaters.Height is up to 80 centimetres (31 in) tall. The leaves are rounded to kidney-shaped, 3–20 centimetres (1.2–7.9 in) across, with a bluntly serrated margin and a thick, waxy texture. Stems are hollow.The flowers are yellow, 2–5 cm (1–2 in) diameter, with 4-9 (mostly 5) petal-like sepals and many yellow stamens; they appear in early spring to late summer. The flowers are visited by a great variety of insects for pollen and for the nectar secreted from small depressions, one on each side of each carpel.Carpels form into green sac-like follicles to 1 cm long, each opening to release several seeds.Caltha palustris is a highly polymorphic species, showing continuous and independent variation in many features.
La Calta palustre (Caltha palustris L., 1753) è una piccola pianta perenne, alta fino a 50 centimetri, glabra, dai fiori colorati di giallo intenso, appartenente alla famiglia delle Ranunculaceae.Il genere Caltha comprende poche specie (una decina o più circa, di cui una spontanea in Italia) tutte dell'emisfero boreale con qualche rara apparizione in quello australe. In alcuni trattati di botanica il nome della famiglia è modificato in Ranuncolacee.Calta palustre viene considerata una pianta molto antica, come per altre specie della famiglia delle Ranunculaceae, infatti anche per questo fiore si parla di poliandria primaria, ossia una struttura primitiva (dal punto di vista evolutivo) caratterizzata da numerosi stami in disposizione spiralata per favorire al massimo la fecondazione e quindi la propagazione della specie. È sopravvissuta inoltre alle varie glaciazioni fiorendo nell'Europa del Nord dopo l'ultima ritirata del ghiaccio.
