  • RB Salmon
    UC Davis wildlife biologists Miranda Tilcock, left, and Nick Corline carry a cooler full of small salmon into a flooded rice field near Woodland on Tuesday, February 19, 2013. An experiment in raising salmon on a flooded ranch in the Yolo Bypass is proving what biologists have long suspected: That the fish grow bigger and faster when the bypass floods, because they can access insect blooms triggered by the inundation.

  • RB Flamingo Roundup
    Primary Carnivore Keeper Amanda Mayberry carries a flamingo named "June" during the flamingo roundup at the Sacramento Zoo in Sacramento on Thursday, February 14, 2013. June is one of only two flamingos at the zoo that has a proper name. The flamingo roundup happens once a year when all of the flamingos (about 40 of them) receive their annual physical. Because they cannot be put to sleep and brought to the veterinary hospital, and they are so skittish, it is a carefully orchestrated process very different from other animal exams. They are first corralled together in the lake and then keepers bring them one by one to the vets., who have stations setup next to the lake.
