This captivating shot was a finalist in the Birds category at the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards 2014. Meet our feline friend, an Exotic Shorthair cat striking a pose in a studio setting. Its unique features and charming personality make it stand out among other breeds. The European green crab (Carcinus maenas), an invasive species in North America, has made its mark on Kejimkujik's ecosystem. Despite being beautiful creatures, their presence poses challenges for native marine life.

Their intricate rituals are truly captivating to behold. Native to tropical America, wild sage (Lantana camara) boasts stunning flowers that transform from vibrant hues to delicate pinks after pollination—a testament to nature's wonders. Invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans) have become dominant predators, wreaking havoc on native fish populations with their voracious appetites and venomous spines—highlighting the importance of preserving biodiversity. Behold the majestic Male Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus), resplendent in his vibrant plumage as he stands proudly amidst lush grass—an exquisite sight indeed. Slipper limpet (Crepidula fornicata), an invasive species found off Jersey's coastlines, reminds us of how human activities can disrupt fragile ecosystems and impact local marine life.
