| Freediver photographing pelagic gelatinous zooplankton, adrift in the open ocean. Image ID: 26817 Species: Fried-egg jellyfish, Phacellophora camtschatica Location: San Diego, California, USA | Freediving photographer in a cloud of salps, gelatinous zooplankton that drifts with open ocean currents. Image ID: 27012 Location: San Diego, California, USA | African gaboon viper camouflage blends into the leaves of the forest floor. This heavy-bodied snake is one of the largest vipers, reaching lengths of 4-6 feet (1.5-2m). It is nocturnal, living in rain forests in central Africa. Its fangs are nearly 2 inches (5cm) long.

| Southern Pacific rattlesnake. The southern Pacific rattlesnake is common in southern California from the coast through the desert foothills to elevations of 10,000 feet. It reaches 4-5 feet (1.5m) in length. Image ID: 12585 Species: Southern Pacific rattlesnake, Crotalus viridis helleri | Western diamondback rattlesnake.

Image ID: 26823 Species: Salp, Cyclosalpa affinis Location: San Diego, California, USA | Ocean sunfish with mouth for slurping zooplankton, open ocean. Image ID: 03319 Species: Ocean sunfish, Mola mola Location: San Diego, California, USA | Detail within the Mandelbrot set fractal. This detail is found by zooming in on the overall Mandelbrot set image, finding edges and buds with interesting features. Fractals are complex geometric shapes that exhibit repeating patterns typified by self-similarity, or the tendency for the details of a shape to appear similar to the shape itself. Often these shapes resemble patterns occurring naturally in the physical world, such as spiraling leaves, seemingly random coastlines, erosion and liquid waves. Fractals are generated through surprisingly simple underlying mathematical expressions, producing subtle and surprising patterns. The basic iterative expression for the Mandelbrot set is z = z-squared + c, operating in the complex (real, imaginary) number set. Image ID: 10375 Species: Mandelbrot Fractal, Mandelbrot set |
