Kuhirwa, ayoung female member of the Nkuringo mountain gorilla family in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, would not give up on her dead baby which she carried for weeks. Her bereavement echo responses to death seen inother species.

From elephants stroking the bones of dead family members to dolphinstrying to keep dead companions afloat, there is an abundance of credible evidence that many animals ranging from primates and cetaceans to cats, dogs, rabbits, horses and some birds behave in ways that visibly express grief.

In a waterhole at Walyormouring Nature Reserve in Western Australia, a couple of industrious female dauber wasps, distinctive with their stalk-like first abdominal segments, were busy digging in the soft mud at the water’s edge, and then rolling the mud into balls to create egg chambers to add to their nearby nests.

When rations run short on Wolf Island, in the remote northern Galápagos, the sharp-beaked ground finches become vampires. Their sitting targets are Nazca boobies and other large birds on the plateau.

The Best Dog Photos Of 2018 Have Been Announced, And They'll Give You All The Feels

Boobies thrive here, nesting among dense cactus thickets and fishing in the surrounding ocean, but the finches have a tougher time. The island has no permanent water and little rainfall. The finches, which are among the species that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution, rely on a scant diet of seeds and insects, which regularly dries up.

Pecking away at the base of booby flight feathers with their sharp beaks, a trait that may have evolved from feeding on the birds’ parasites, they drink blood to survive. Rather than leave and expose their eggs and chicks to the sun, the boobies appear to tolerate the vampires, and the blood loss doesn’t seem to cause permanent harm.

Extraordinary

Unlike many treehoppers, which enlist theaid of other insects - mainly ants - this species is guarded by the mother alone. She lays her eggs on the underside of a nightshade leaf, covers them with a thin secretion and then shields the clutch with her tiny frame. Once the eggs hatch, they develop through five nymphal stages, differing in size, color and ornamentation. The black stripes and little green spines indicate that these are soon to molt into adult form.

Dozens of reef sharks hunt for prey in the depths of the South Pacific, and two pumas stand atop a Chilean cliff. To capture these shots and others, National Geographic photographers climbed high and dove deep this year—sometimes without protection. It’s tough to get a spontaneous shot of a shark feeding frenzy from within a cage.

Even after more than 100 years of photographing the natural world for National Geographic, our wildlife photographers are still capturing animals in ways they’ve never been seen before. Evgenia Arbugaeva spent time in Indonesia, capturing vivid photographs of the dark side of the butterfly trade, and Anand Verma ventured into an ancient Maya temple to photograph meat-eating bats.

Stunning Wildlife Pictures In Honor Of World Animal Day

Some of our best wildlife photos this year were of birds. To mark the 100th anniversary of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which protected a huge swath of bird species from being killed, National Geographic declared 2018 the Year of the Bird and set out to tell stories about all things avian.

We focused on birds in peril, like the albatrosses of sub-Antarctic Marion Island, photographed bloody and half-alive by Thomas Peschak. Our photography also showed the birds that are flourishing against the odds, like the shearwaters and penguins sheltered on the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic, captured by Paul Nicklen.

Charlie Hamilton James photographed birds at their smartest, quirkiest, and most cunning, like a Mozart-loving European starling named Arnie. He also celebrated snagging the most difficult shot of his entire career: a funny American bird called a sage grouse, which he finally captured one freezing-cold dawn as a vast Wyoming valley turned golden. “It took five weeks, a lot of coffee, and a pile of gear, ” Hamilton James says.
