King Mountain and the Matanuska River ✕ Joe GansterIts headwaters, of the Matanuska River, are at Matanuska Glacier in the northern Chugach Mountains, approximately 100 miles (160 km) northeast of Anchorage. It flows generally west-southwest through the Mat-Su Valley, between the Chugach range to the south and the Talkeetna Mountains to the north. It flows past Chickaloon, Sutton-Alpine Palmer and enters Knik River before finally entering the Knik Arm of Cook Inlet from the northeast approximately 25 mi (40 km) northeast of Anchorage.

A 22-month-old female scaredy cat tiger appeared to get the shock of her young life when she encountered a dead leaf floating on a pool of water in the Bandhavgarh National Park, India. Clearly unusure about just what was approaching her, the partially submerged youngster’s tail shot up in the air and with teeth bared she let out her most fearsome growl - all in an effort to scare the humble leaf away.

A male Red Brocket Deer was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas on March 25. Barely over two weeks old, the little fawn is already actively exploring the exhibit alongside his mother.
All Brocket Deer are small, but at about 30 inches tall at the shoulders, Red Brocket Deer are the largest of the ten Brocket species found in Central and South America. Because these diminutive Deer are shy and secretive, not much is known about their habits, and there is some confusion about the taxonomy of the 10 species. At this time, there is not enough data about the Red Brocket Deer to evaluate its conservation status.
Browsing on leaves and fruit, Red Brocket Deer inhabit dense forests and live solitary lives. Males competing for mates will fight, using their short horns to inflict injury on their opponent.
