Masters of the deep 🐢   Leatherback turtles routinely plunge over 1,000 metres into the ocean, and can hold their breath for extended periods of time. But how do they do this? Well, they have an excellent capacity to store oxygen, powerful front flippers, and an insulating layer of fat which helps to keep them warm.   #EarthCapture by @ausmashmash . . . . #Turtle #Animals #Nature #Photography

Did you know that tigers are the largest cat species? They can reach up to 4m (13ft) long and are able to take down prey much larger than themselves. #EarthCapture by @sujugasim . . . . #Tiger #Animals #Nature #Photography

Volcanic eruptions are breathtaking—but with lightning, they become nature’s most electrifying spectacle! When a volcano erupts, it creates a plume, which is a mixture of hot volcanic ash, gas, and water vapour that is tightly packed together. As it ascends, tiny particles gain friction, which helps contribute to these lightning strikes. #EarthCapture at Volcán de Fuego, Guatemala by @danii_vee 📸 . . . . #volcano #lightning #naturephotography #science

Iberian lynx are apex predators – and a force to be reckoned with.   While they don’t have any natural predators, lynx kittens are vulnerable to other carnivores such as wolves. From a young age, they engage in play fighting in order to finesse their hunting skills, ensuring their survival.   #EarthCapture by @alexandrovich_yo . . . . #IberianLynx #Animals #Nature #Photography

Nature's Cutest Hoarder 🌰 🐿️ In Canada, with just two weeks before the first snow, chipmunks race to stash hundreds of acorns underground. Their secret? Stretchy cheek pouches that can fit six acorns in one go. That's some serious prepping! #EarthCapture by 📸 1,3,4,6. @missymandel_photography 2,5. @mohphotography_ . . . . #Chimpmunks #WildlifePhotography #NatureLovers #AnimalFacts
