| PHOTOGRAPH BY JOE ROSENTHAL, AP | | Was this iconic World War II photo staged? | On February 23, 1945, photographer Joe Rosenthal captured the courage and camaraderie of fighting men while meeting virtually every time-honored standard of artistic composition. The image was so perfect, in fact, that for the rest of his life, Rosenthal had to rebut charges that he set up the whole thing. Was it really too good to be true? | | | |

| PHOTOGRAPH BY JOEL SARTORE, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTO ARK | | This fierce fish grows 20 new teeth each day | The Pacific lingcod is an ill-tempered, omnivorous fish with a mouth like a messy silverware drawer, its 500-plus teeth arranged haphazardly on two sets of highly mobile jaws. Recent research shows it replaces teeth much faster than expected—and it might not be alone. | | | |
