National Geographic highlights the top photos from users in its ongoing gallery called Your Shot. Here are some of the best from this week.
Kao Mei Wetland is a biodiverse tidal flat of Taichung City, which is located on the mid-west coast of Taiwan. Not only is it famous as a habitat for hundreds of kinds of winter and migrant birds, but it’s also a natural home to two kinds of endangered endemic water plants, Hygrophila pogonocalyx and Bolboschoenus planiculmis.

With only a fixed lens on my Fuji X100, I was still able to get a decent shot of a resident snow monkey bathing with her infant at Yudanaka's snow monkey park, near Nagano, Japan. Although heavily photographed the monkeys appear fairly wild and have adopted a daily ritual of bathing in the hot springs. We were lucky to see them on a very quiet, surreal and snowy day in late spring. (Photo and caption courtesy Tyron Breytenbach/National Geographic Your Shot)
Instead of front legs, Vespa was born with little “chicken wings” that allow her to army crawl or hop, but only on soft grass or carpet. I wanted her world to be bigger, so I researched front wheels for dogs (she was not a candidate for prosthesis). I tracked down OrthoPets out of Denver, Colorado, a wonderful group that specializes in making animals more mobile, and there the door to that bigger world was immediately opened.
