The wild bay lynx with tuft ears and tawny, streamlined body lurks in the trees waiting to leap onto any snowshoe hare that happens along. In the neighboring forest,
a red fox strategically prepares her den on high ground and digs a few less conspicuous escape holes to outwit unwelcome intruders.

The massive grizzly hovers over the rushing Alaskan waters, and with powerful paws, slashes at the current to pin a large salmon. Dipping his head underwater, he grips the fish with his vise like jaws and raises his morning meal out of the stream.

At dusk the coyote barks, yelps, and then lets out a long and eerie howl alerting others in his pack of his location. Meanwhile, the majestic bald eagle and the nocturnal owl fly overhead, scanning the fields to detect the slightest movement of prey.

These are among the animals
that dot the North American landscape, fascinating us and inspiring us. Now you can enjoy these won drous creatures forever in North America: A Delicate Balance the premier plate in the A World of Wildlife: Celebrating Earth Day's 25th Anniversary collection.
