    A emperor penguin The chick waddles to the edge of a cliff and jumps, plunging 15 meters into the icy waters below. National geographic captured the penguin’s daring dive via drone camera, marking the first time the behavior had been recorded on film. An image (see below) documenting the moment also made the magazine’s final list of names. Photos of the year 2024 honored.

    A young emperor penguin jumps from a 15-meter cliff for its first swim. The species normally breeds on low-lying sea ice, but some colonies have been found on higher, more permanent ice shelves, a behavior likely to become increasingly common with climate change. Left by their parents a month earlier, the chicks must fend for themselves and find food by hunting at sea. (Photo by Bertie Gregory for National Geographic)

    Ingo Arndt worked with the University of Konstanz to build a nest to observe the reproductive behavior of wood ants, normally hidden in forest mounds. Arndt observed the colony's workers cleaning eggs, larvae weaving cocoons, and hatchlings like this one opening cocoons with their mandibles before the workers helped them cut them out.

    Periodical cicadas spend 13 or 17 years in the soil and only emerge to reproduce. Last May and June, for the first time in 221 years, Brood XIII, with a 17-year cycle, and Brood XIX, with a 13-year cycle, emerged simultaneously in the Midwest and Southeastern states. -United, respectively, filling the air with vibrations as they called to mate.
