Maderas del Carmen, Mexico, 1993

Photograph by Bruce Dale

Wiry bloom stalks from two sotol plants lean toward sunlight that streams through a break in the clouds in the Maderas del Carmen Protected Area. The mountainous park in Mexico's Coahuila State joins with Big Bend National Park on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande.

Sotol is a favorite snack of black bears, and its blooms attract swarms of flying insects including flies, bees, and butterflies. Juice from the stem is somewhat sweet and can be pressed and fermented to make the fiery liquor mescal de sotol.

"A recuperating kite is administered with a multivitamin at the Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital, in Mumbai, on May 30. According to the Bombay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BSPCA), this year there has been a 20 percent rise in bird incidences suffering from heat-related collapse. Birds fall to the ground due to extreme exhaustion and dehydration, often sustaining bruises and injuries. BSPCA officials say birds are forced to fly longer distances before resting, due to increased tree felling to make way for Mumbai's rapidly developing infrastructure" CNN
