These flamingos are pictured high in the Andes at Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt pan. It is also one of Bolivia's largest lithium mines, which threatens the future of the flamingos.

Tony Wu caught this scene off the coast of Japan. It shows a giant sea star (starfish) at the moment of spawning.
