The Littlest Condor: High Drama: Joseph Brandt (top left) and Scott Scherbinsky rappel down a Big Sur backcountry cliff to reach the condor cave and its fragile egg; LA Zoo animal keeper Mike Clark (bottom left) carefully pulls the egg from its incubator to mark the expansion of its life-giving air pocket on its shell in pencil.— Joe Burnett
