A Sonora Mud Turtle (Kinosternon sonoriense) basks in the sun at Montezuma Well
A Sonora Mud Turtle (Kinosternon sonoriense) basks in the sun at Montezuma Well, AZ. Kinosternon sonoriense are found only in aquatic habitats in the southwestern United States and northwestern México. They are listed on the IUCN Red List and some subspecies are listed as critically imperiled. Photo by Charles Drost, USGS, SBSC.

Glen Canyon Dam jet tubes releasing water for a high flow experiment
Glen Canyon Dam jet tubes releasing water into the Colorado River for a high flow experiment. The increase in flow of the Colorado River downstream of the dam mobilizes sand at the bottom of the river and that sand rebuilds sandbars in Grand Canyon.
