A monkey who survived the Ivorian post-electoral crisis at the Abidjan Zoo, Ivory Coast
A weaver bird makes its nest in Kathmandu. Weavers, small passerine birds related to finches, are one of some 868 species of birds found in Nepal.
Paul Pratti, a sheriff's deputy and wildlife rehabilitator places a 5-month-old bear cub in a carrier after he was captured roaming the White Lake area in Sullivan County, New York, with a plastic jug stuck on his head, on August 5, 2011. The undernourished and dehydrated cub was brought to a rehabilitation center. Authorities are not sure how long the jug was stuck on his head.
Snorkelers swim with a six meter whale shark just outside Hanifaru Bay of Maldives' remote Baa Atoll, on August 11, 2011. Every year, hundreds of whale sharks and giant manta rays gather for their annual feeding frenzy of plankton in July and August, in the geologically unique Hanifaru Bay. For reasons of conservation, Maldives is likely to shut down Hanifaru Bay to divers, making this the last season divers can see this one-of-a-kind phenomenon.
Renana, a 3-week-old sand kitten, is seen at her enclosure in the Ramat Gan Safari near Tel Aviv August 8, 2011. The kitten is the first of the sand cat species, considered extinct in Israel, to be born at the safari park, an open-air zoo, a statement from the safari said.
