An Atlantic midshipman, Porichthys plectrodon, at Pure Aquariums from the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab. This kind of fish has light producing cells called photophores running up and down their sides. These are used to attract prey. The gold dots are reminiscent of a midshipman’s naval uniform, hence the name.

A bobcat (Lynx rufus) traverses along the Mexican-Texas border. A border wall along the lower Rio Grande in Texas divides nations as well as habitats, hindering daily essential movements of animals in the area. Bobcats would normally cross the border to find mates or catch dinner. The wall also blocks the dailly rounds of ocelots, another member of the cat family.
