Biscayne National Park is home to one of the coolest dads in the animal kingdom, the yellowhead jawfish. After the female lays her eggs and the male fertilizes them, the dad will take the eggs in his mouth for safekeeping. During the time it takes for the eggs to mature, dad doesn’t eat, but he does roll the eggs around in his mouth to keep them aerated until they’re ready to hatch. After 10-14 days, tiny baby jawfish pop out of the eggs. Thanks to Ned DeLoach for the great photo!

Foggy morning face-off. Two young bull #moose testing each other in Tobin Harbor in Isle Royale National Park. They locked horns and did a little pushing and shoving, but no real damage was done to either. Photo: Carl TerHaar
