Neurobiologist Constance Scharff finds inspiration swimming near her Berlin home. Her discoveries trace a thread woven through all creatures: "The genetic hardware a bird uses to learn to sing probably isn't far from what a mouse uses to learn to run a maze, and what you use to learn to speak."

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
In early morning mist that rolls in from the coast, two brown bears tussle like teenagers. "I was at this spot a year earlier and saw these bears doing the same thing," says John Paczkowski, a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society. "They sparred for about 40 minutes, taking breaks to eat a few berries." Bears in the Kronotsky reserve often encounter each other at salmon streams and seem to socialize more here than in some other food-rich areas.

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
The mountain's moods aren't all bad. Spring warmth draws crowds to New England's Tuckerman Ravine, including thrill seekers who attempt to ski a steep headwall. Others simply relax in the sun-washed glacial cirque and bask in the presence of the peak.
