Description
This matriarch has lived a good, long life so far but she still has a lot left in her! At the age of 50, she is the head of the family the matriarch. It is up to her to protect her family and lead them towards, food, water, and survival. She has been taught the skills and the paths she must follow by her other, aunties, and grandmother, and now it is her turn. But the ever-present threat of humans worries her. It seems the poachers are always close and other people don’t want them near their homes. She’s running out of places she can go.

The African elephant is the largest land animal in the world and wanders across 37 countries in Africa. There are two subspecies, the Savanna (or bush) elephant and the Forest elephant. Forest elephants are slightly smaller and live in the forests of the Congo Basin. African elephants live in herds led by a matriarch, the biggest and oldest female who looks after her herd and leads them to water holes. Adult males tend to live alone or occasionally join an all-male group.

Elephants have the longest pregnancy of any other mammal, nearly 22 months. Not too surprisingly the baby is huge, weighing 200 pounds at birth and 3 feet tall. Elephants don’t have to worry about being a single parent, they have a system called allomothering. This means that not only the mother but all the young females in the herd will look after the baby. For the first 2 years of their life, the baby will suckle milk from its mother, a whopping 13 litres a day! Babies don’t understand the purpose of their trunk at first. They enjoy swinging it around and even suck it like a human baby would suck their thumb. At about 6-8 months old they learn to use it to eat and drink and once they reach a year old, they can do everything they need, like grasping and bathing. The females will stay with the herd forever while the males will set out on their own at around 12-14 years old.

African elephants are a keystone species meaning they are crucial for their environment. They use their tusks to dig up dry riverbeds in the dry season, digging down to the water hidden underneath and creating water holes for others. They are also important for seed dispersal, eating the seeds of different plants and dropping them all over the place in the form of their poop! The forest elephants also make pathways through the trees for other animals as their great size can power through while happily munching on seeds.

The biggest threat to African elephants is poaching for the ivory trade. 55 elephants are killed a day to fuel the ivory industry and orphaned baby elephants don’t stand much of a chance in the wild without their mothers. Unable to care for themselves and left with psychological scars from the traumatic event, orphaned calves would usually die. Habitat loss is also a major problem. In the last 25 years, the world lost a forested area the size of South Africa. Elephants roam up to 80km a day, so this forces them into dangerous and deadly confrontations with humans when they come into these new settlements, especially when an elephant can eat an entire season of crops in one night! The angry farmers will often kill them in retaliation. Drought that has been seen over much of East Africa in the last ten years is also drying up water holes and diminishing their available food, with plants and trees no longer able to flourish in their changing environment.

Description
The African forest elephant is a remarkable creature, and this 6-month-old calf is no exception. Growing up fast, she's already starting to show signs of her adult tusks, which are a source of worry for her and her family.

Despite this, the calf is still able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, running and playing in the lush forest with her family and friends. Her playful nature and boundless energy are a joy to watch, and she is a reminder of the incredible beauty and diversity of life in our natural world.

Description
All rhino species are endangered. In the last decade, 9,885 African rhinos have been lost to poaching. Even though the trend is starting to change for the better, 1 rhino is still killed every single day. The reason for this terrible loss is their beautiful horns, worth their weight in gold on the black market because of the incessant demand from Asia, particularly China and Vietnam. The horns are ground up and used in traditional medicines despite it being scientifically proven to have no medicinal benefits.

The forgotten victims of this horrific epidemic are the babies who are left behind, discarded as they have not yet grown their horns. Rhino calves cannot survive without their mothers and if they are not found by humans who can protect them they will surely die. The brave babies have been known to do everything they can to try and save their mothers, tacking on the poachers and coming out with serious injuries.

Description
At 4 months old this baby African elephant is very playful. He loves exploring and chasing things and just cannot get enough of the bizarre swingy thing on his face, it’s so much fun! But there is one thing he is very scared of, the people with guns. He had seen one of his aunties being shot down by them. He hadn’t stuck around to see what happened but he had been told they took her tusks then left her there. He couldn’t imagine what he would do if that happened to his mum, how would he survive without her?

Description
It was a bit of a shock when this beautiful boy fell to earth, it was quite a drop! At three weeks old he prefers to stay close to the ground, using the tall grass of his African savanna home to stay hidden from predators. He is entirely reliant on his mother who protects him by kicking away any predators and nursing him the milk he needs to keep growing big and strong. Soon, he will be the tallest animal in the world, but his amazing height won’t give back all the space he would have once been able to roam. All he can do is watch and hope that the humans will stop taking more.

The tallest living animal in the world, the giraffe tower over the savannas of Africa. It’s good that they do because a group of giraffes is aptly named a tower! These groups usually are of 10-20 members who can come and go as they please. They move around, searching for mimosa and acacia trees where they get their food, spending only 20 minutes each day sleeping. The spotty pattern on their coat is unique to each animal, just like our fingerprints.

Giraffes give birth standing up, a bit of a heart-wrenching thought when you think how far the newborn baby will have to fall, a whopping 5 feet! These hardy babies are even more impressive in that they can stand after half an hour and even run 10 hours after they are born. The newborns are very vulnerable to predators and spend the first few weeks hiding. If a predator approaches, the mother will stand over her calf and kick the threat away with her long legs. Mothers and calves travel with other mothers and calves in nursing herds, keeping each other safe as a group. Occasionally a mother may want to leave to forage or drink away from the herd, leaving her baby in the care of another female, this is called a calving pool. If a threat appears the responsible female will alert her own calf, the other babies will catch on and follow.

It wasn’t until quite recently that it was discovered that giraffes can be separated into different species. In 2016 a study claimed that there are four; southern giraffe (which has two subspecies), northern giraffe (which has three subspecies), reticulated giraffe, and Masai giraffe. The study claimed that the species did not interbreed and had not for 1-2 million year.

As a whole, the giraffe is listed as vulnerable but the Masai and reticulated species are endangered. Their biggest threats are habitat loss and being killed for bushmeat. As agriculture moves into the savannas and the need for firewood increases in those areas, they lose their land and also their favourite acacia trees, making it harder for them to find food. Their tail is also used for good-luck bracelets, fly whisks and thread.

Description
Swinging through the trees holding hands with her friends is the three-year-old baby orangutan. She has so much fun doing this but has started to notice something. Her beautiful rainforest with all the exciting and interesting trees and plants are starting to all look like the same tree. It is always noisy, the sound of some great machine and the crashing of falling trees and there are humans everywhere. She had always been told to keep away from humans. Many babies like her had been taken away by them. They are dangerous.

The Malay word for “man of the forest”, orangutan, is the name for our orange-haired cousins. Only found in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo in Indonesia and Malaysia, these arboreal great apes spend most of their time in trees with incredibly long arms fit for swinging. They are known as “gardeners” of the forest and are vital for seed dispersal. Males and females are sexually dimorphic so they are very easy to tell apart. The males have large cheek pads and a sagittal crest (a ridge of bone running like a mohawk along the skull) to show their dominance over other males.

Baby orangutans are completely dependent on their mothers for the first two years of their lives. They will be carried around on their mother’s belly having constant physical contact for the first 4 months. They will do everything together, travel, eat, and sleep. After this period the two start to spend more and more time apart. The mother will often enlist the help of one of her older children to help her raise her baby and socialise it. Once it is about 1 ½, the baby will be quite a good climber and will be able to swing from tree to tree, holding hands with other orangutans in what is called “buddy travel”. But even when they become an adolescent at the age of 6 or 7, the baby will still find time for their mum.

Orangutans are one of the most intelligent non-human primates. They use tools, some even creating a toolkit containing insect-extraction sticks and seed-extraction sticks, adapting their tool for the task and even saving it for later. They have voluntary control over their vocalisations and one orangutan in the US National Zoo even learnt to whistle! They also show many humans characteristics such as laughter.

All three species of orangutan are listed as critically endangered and are legally protected in both Indonesia and Malaysia. Even so, they are easy targets for hunters being large and slow. The females are the most hunted for bushmeat with their babies being kept as pets, sent off on the illegal pet trade. Habitat loss is perhaps the biggest problem. Their home has been disappearing at a rapid rate to make way for palm oil plantations and other such projects. Over the past decade, it is estimated that orangutan populations have declined by 50% in the wild.

Description
This 6-year-old Arctic Fox is very used to adapting to her environment. With a beautiful fluffy white coat to blend in with the snowy landscape and keep her toasty in winter, that transforms into a thinner and browner coat to fit perfectly into the summer months. But her environment is changing, and it’s changing fast. Her adaptations which worked so perfectly before are needing to adapt again and adapt quickly.

The beautiful Arctic fox may look delicate but it is incredibly hardy. It lives in one of the most inhospitable climates in the world- the Arctic- which spends its winter below freezing and its short summer just above. The fox has developed a thick white coat to perfectly suit its surroundings. Not only is it wonderfully warm with a lovely fluffy tail perfect for a blanket but it blends in perfectly with the snowy surroundings making it an excellent hunter. In the summer it sheds its thick coat for a brown/grey one that is perfect for blending in with the ice-free summer. Arctic Foxes are the only canid that has fur on the pads of their feet. 
Even though they are exceptional hunters, sometimes the long winter months can be short on food, particularly their favourite cuisine of lemmings. To solve this problem, the crafty hunters follow larger predators like polar bears and wolves to scavenge whatever they manage to find. To help them with their hunting endeavours, the Arctic Fox has developed a spectacular sense of hearing and smell. They can easily hear lemmings burrowing under 4-5 inches of snow and can smell a leftover carcass 10-40km away. Once they have found their prey under the snow they leap into the air, giving them a fantastic vantage to pierce through the snow, catching their prey unaware.

Arctic foxes live in very large dens, a system of tunnels that can cover 1000m² and has many entrances. If their main food source, the lemming, is abundant, the foxes can have litters as big as 25 kits, the largest of any dog, but are usually between 6-19. Arctic foxes are monogamous so both parents look after their young. The mother will feed the kits with her milk while the father will head out to hunt. The kits are completely dependent on their parents from summer to autumn, leaving the den for the first time when they are 14-15 weeks old and becoming sexually mature once they are a year old.

While the species as a whole is thriving, some populations are critically endangered; in Scandinavia and Medny Island in Russia. With the near extinction of wolves, the red fox became the apex predator, killing many foxes and their kits. They are also very susceptible to the populations of their prey. When lemming numbers drop, so too do fox numbers. Another major problem for the foxes is climate change. The Arctic is seeing rising temperatures at twice the rate of the rest of the world making huge changes to the habitat of the fox.

Description
This endangered Bengal tiger is completely reliant on her mother. She won’t be able to hunt for another 6 months and will stay with the safety of mum until she is 2 or 3 playing and learning all she can. There are less than 2500 left of her kind with the main reasons being poaching habitat loss and fragmentation.

Description
This 8-month-old joey is very dedicated to exploring every nook and cranny in her rocky home. It’s a bit of a labyrinth and takes some getting used to but she knows she is much safer up here where most other creatures don’t dare to climb. Things used to be a lot easier for her kind, she was told. There weren’t any of the cunning foxes who like to have rock wallaby joey for dinner or the goats that are now everywhere who get to all the good food first. They have tried to adapt to these changes but she knows there is only one way to fix the problem. If the humans help fix what they created.

Rock wallabies are small marsupials who like in fortress-like rocky homes in Australia. These nocturnal creatures spend their days in the shelter of their homes, either a cave, an overhang, or some kind of vegetation amongst the rocks, and venture out at night to feed. They have a highly adapted physique to help them nimbly get around their rocky homes. They have powerful legs and sharp claws which help them to climb trees and even scale nearly vertical rocks. They are the most diverse of all macropods (kangaroos, wallabies etc), with 19 species identified.

Rock wallabies are marsupials and so their young spend a lot of time in the warmth and safety of their mother’s pouch. They are born very tiny and not quite developed. They crawl up their mothers’ pouch to attach themselves to one of her teats inside where they continue to develop for 6-7 months. Once the joey is more developed it can start to venture out of mums pouch but will often jump back in whenever there is danger around. At 9 months old the joey is fully weaned and will leave its mothers pouch for the last time.

Rock wallabies vary in terms of their conservation status with some populations very at risk, even having disappeared from the south. They first became threatened with the arrival of Europeans where they began hunting them for their fur. But the bigger threat the Europeans bought was their foreign animals. Now, the biggest threats to the rock wallabies are from these introduced species such as red foxes who kill them, and other herbivores, particularly goats, sheep and rabbits who compete with them for food. With increasing habitat fragmentation and destruction, the wallabies are also at risk of lower genetic health because of their shrinking numbers.

Description
From the famous Gombe Stream community in Tanzania, this 4-year-old chimp still has a lot to learn. He watches closely as his mum goes around her day to day life, learning as much as he can while taking every opportunity to have fun. He thought that he could be friends with another community that would sometimes come near his community, humans. They look and acted so similar to him he thought they would be great fun! But he was warned against them. They have been known to eat chimps and steal babies as their pets.

The chimpanzee is our closest living relative, sharing about 99% of our DNA. It’s even thought that we have a common ancestor who lived sometime between 7-13 million years ago! Through research we have been able to see some of the magical similarities between us and chimpanzees. We all have our own unique personalities, are incredibly social, can learn basic sign-language, and, most importantly use and make tools. 

A chimpanzee will usually only give birth to one baby at a time. The babies are completely helpless and the level of love and care given by the mother is crucial for a healthy baby. For the first 30 days of their life, the baby will cling to their mother's belly and will move on to riding on their backs at 5 or 6 months. They start to be able to move around independently by the age of 2 and by 4-6 are weaned. As young chimps, they will still stay with their mothers for up to 9 years. Until then, the mother will play with her baby and teach them all the important skills needed for being a chimp.

Chimps are incredibly social creatures. They have intricate connections between the different members of their community, touching, cuddling, and sometimes fighting with each other. Grooming is an incredibly important part of chimp life. Not only is it important to stay clean and tidy, but it’s also a fantastic way to strengthen bonds, build alliances, and relax. Chimps can spend a few minutes and even up to a few hours grooming each other, maintaining friendly ties between the community. The important bonds between chimpanzees can also be seen when the grieve for their dead. Those who were closest to the deceased are visibly more upset and spend a lot more time in the process of mourning. Mothers will carry their dead babies around; others will groom their friend. This shows their diverse and complex emotions, and most importantly, their ability to love. 

Chimpanzees are now endangered because of our actions. Because of major increases in human populations, miles and miles of their habitat is being destroyed, clearing space for city expansion, agriculture, roads, logging, and mining. This is making it harder for the chimps to survive, forcing them to live in smaller and smaller spaces and putting a major strain on food options. This issue over food, in particular, has led to human-chimpanzee conflict. In their desperation to find enough to eat, the chimps are forced to come to human settlements to steal food, mainly easy to grab things such as fruit, but when things are really tough, they have been known to take children. Families retaliate by killing the chimps to stop any other attacks. Chimps are also targeted by bushmeat hunters as they provide plenty of meat compared to other smaller animals. The hunters are also known to take the young as their pets or sell them on the illegal pet trade, a lifestyle that is never suitable for a wild animal. With DNA so similar to our own it is not surprising that chimpanzees are susceptible to many of the same diseases that we are. Since the 1980s, Ebola has been a major threat killing hundreds of thousands of chimpanzees.

Description
This 2-year-old baby boy loves playing. He’s finally confident enough to spend a bit of time away from mum playing with his siblings and learning to climb. But he is worried. He has noticed that a lot of gorillas in his community have been getting sick and dying. And some are just disappearing! It seems to happen whenever a human comes close. He has been told to stay away from the humans, they might to catch him and keep him in a cage.

The smallest of all the gorilla, the Western Lowland Gorilla are the most widespread, found in the thick tropical rainforests of western and central Africa. These vegetarians spend a lot of their time eating their favourite foods; roots, shoots, fruit, wild celery, and tree bark and pulp. They are incredibly peaceful animals, living calm and nonviolent lives, except when they are provoked. When this happens, the dominant male can demonstrate his strength with a mighty display, standing on two-foot, charging, pounding his chest, hooting, and giving an almighty roar.

Just like us, female gorillas usually give birth to just one baby at a time. These little ones are tiny and helpless, only weighing about four pounds, and are completely dependent on their mother. They cling to her fur for safety until about four months old when they learn to ride on her back. They will stay safely on mums back for the first 2-3 years of their lives, watching and learning and getting a lot of love from mum. As they get older, they will start to play, climbing trees, wrestling, chasing each other, and learning everything they need to know to be a good chimp. They are dependent on their mothers for up to 5 years. 

Gorillas are some of the most intelligent animals in the world and can even learn sign language! Koko the gorilla shocked the world in the 1970s with her ability to learn and communicate in sign language. She mastered 1000 signs and was able to make statements of up to 8 words to let people know what she wanted or thought. Koko was also elevated to stardom when she adopted a kitten as a pet, a pet she had asked for, showing such care and love as if it were her own child. When her kitten died, she signed "Bad, sad, bad" and "Frown, cry, frown, sad, trouble" and was even heard making a sound similar to a human crying. Koko passed away in 2018.

The main threats for this gorilla are poaching and disease and it is estimated that their numbers have declined by over 65% in the past 20-25 years. Hunting the adults for bushmeat and the babies for pets is a big problem. In Northeast Congo alone, approximately 5% are killed each year because of this. Being so closely related to us in terms of DNA is also a big problem when it comes to disease. Central Africa has been struggling with the deadly Ebola virus for a long time and it’s not just humans affected. Gorillas and chimpanzee have been badly affected with estimates stating that one-third of wild gorilla populations, mostly made up of the western lowland gorilla, have been killed. One community, once considered one of the most important populations, the Minkébé Forest, have lost 90% of their population to Ebola.

Description
It can be a bit confusing for a young zebra when it comes to telling mum apart. This 1-month-old baby boy has been alone with his mother for the first weeks of his life, breathing in her scent, remembering her call, and counting her stripes. Now he’s with the herd and there are stripes everywhere but he somehow knows who to follow. But if he looks past the herd there are a lot of others who don’t have stripes, and they seem to be getting to the food and the water first! Led by humans, these other herds are taking over.

With stripes as unique as our fingerprints, the zebra is an iconic member of African wildlife. Grevy’s zebra is the largest and most endangered and is more closely related to the wild ass than the horse, the more common plains zebras’ cousins. Its name comes from the president of France, Jules Grevy who was given a zebra as a gift by the emperor of Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia) in 1882. When a French zoologist met the gifted creature, he named it in honour of his president.  

Zebras only give birth to one foal at a time and these babies are born with the ability to walk nearly immediately. This is very important because they are very at risk of predators and since they don’t hide they need to be able to run. New mothers keep their young separate for the first few days of their foals life so that they don’t imprint on any other mare. The foals must learn their mother's pattern, vocalisations, and scent and in the first few days of their life, they will follow anyone. Once the foal has imprinted, she will sometime leave her foal in a ‘kindergarten’ while she goes in search of water. These are groups of foals protected by an adult, often a territorial male, and a mare. Normally the foal will follow his mother wherever she goes, learning what to eat and the migratory routes of the herd following the seasons.  

Grevy’s zebra is a very important part of the ecosystem on the dry, semi-arid scrub and grasslands they call home. Grazing with many other creatures such as antelope and wildebeest, the zebra helps them all out by taking off the hard, dry ends of the grass that the other grazers can’t digest. The zebra is well adapted to this environment. Unlike the plains zebra who needs lots of water, Grevy’s can go 5 days without any at all!

Grevy’s zebra has seen one of the biggest declines in their environment than any other African animal. With more and more land being converted to grazing pastures for livestock, the zebra has to compete for both food and water. Because of this, the survival rate of young zebras is very low. In the past 30 years, the population has dropped approximately 54%. In Ethiopia, the main threat is hunting, primarily for their skins but also for their meat and use in medicines.

Description
Tumbling out of the den in the Italian mountains come this 1-year-old bear and his twin brother, having a wonderful game of ‘who can pin who’. This is a lot of fun but also good practice for when they are older, their coordination still could be better! Living in their national park they feel quite safe but their mother has warned them to never go too close to the humans, especially when they have a gun. If the humans get scared then it’s could be the end of the little bear.

The Marsican brown bear, also known as the Apennine brown bear, is a critically endangered member of the Eurasian brown bear. They live in forested areas between 800 and 1700 meters in elevation where they can live for 20-25 years. These solitary bears are mainly nocturnal, foraging around for their favourite foods of tubers, roots, fungi, fruits, and berries, but they are also happy to eat insects, honey, eggs, carrion, and even a small mammal or two.

The only times when the bears are not nocturnal are during mating and when they have cubs. The cubs are usually born in winter, where the mother will find a nice rocky cave to make as a den. She will usually give birth to twins, but sadly the mortality rate for cubs is 50%. The cubs will stay with their mother for 2-3 years but they can roam around independently after only a few months thanks to their mother’s fatty milk.

Only found in a very small part of Italy, these isolated bears have seen their numbers drop dramatically. Currently, estimates have put their numbers at only 50 bears left in the wild. They mainly live in the Abruzzo-Lazio-Molise National Park which was created in 1923 for the specific purpose of protecting the bears. This was a fantastic initiative which helped to protect them from one of their greatest threats at the time, habitat loss. Now, even though they are protected under Italian law, their threats come mainly from humans who kill them when the bears are seen as a threat to the locals and their cattle. Another big threat is genetic diversity. As there are so few of them, genetic diversity has become very small, giving rise to issues of inbreeding.

Description
On the grasslands of Africa is a litter of 5-month-old cheetah cubs who love to play. Wrestling and tumbling together they teach each other important life skills to be the best cheetah’s they can be. But this little girl must be careful. As well as her natural predators she must watch out for humans. Her mother warned her that if they ever caught her they could keep her to live with them, selling her as a pet where she would never be free again.

The fastest land mammal in the world, the cheetah would leave most cars for dust reaching speeds of up to 128km/h and, perhaps even more impressive, can hit 95km/h in just 3 seconds! At these speeds’ cheetahs are not just limited to a straight line. They are very nimble, able to suddenly change direction. Once they hit their top speed, they can maintain it for only about 30 seconds.

Cheetahs can have up to 8 cubs in a single litter. These babies are born blind and completely helpless with a beautiful mohawk-like hairstyle which they lose as they get older. It is thought that this interesting hair makes them look like a honey badger, giving them some protection from both the badgers and other predators who avoid them. This is very important as cubs are at great risk of death from predation. For the first two months of their life, their mother must be very cautious, never going far from her cubs and moving them every 5 or 6 days. When this high-risk period is over, the cubs will start following their mother everywhere she goes, starting to replace their mothers’ milk with solid food. They spend a lot of time practising to hunt, with mum letting pray go for them to pounce. They will stay, playing and learning everything they need to know before leaving at around 20 months.

Most cheetah subspecies, of which there are five, live on the grassy plains of Africa. One, the Asiatic cheetah is the only surviving cheetah population in Asia and only found in central Iran. With less than 50 remaining, this subspecies is listed as critically endangered.

There are many threats to cheetahs. Habitat loss is one of the biggest threats. With more and more of their habitat being transformed in agriculture, roads, and settlements, cheetahs are finding it harder to make a territory of their own and find enough prey. In Africa, about 76% of their habitat is outside of protected areas and it is quickly diminishing. With less prey, they are forced to turn to livestock as a solution which results in an often deadly retaliation from the farmer. Being quite sociable and easy to train, cheetahs are also at risk of being caught and traded on the exotic pet trade. They are also poached for their beautiful skins.

Description
Being in the water is one of the nicest ways to escape the scorching sun of Africa. This 2-month-old baby hippo loves getting wet, a born swimmer even if she may not look it. She feels safe here but her family pool is starting to get a bit crowded. There aren’t as many water holes for the hippos to choose from anymore so they have to share which can be scary for the baby when the adults start to annoy each other. She dreams that by the time she grows up there will be enough space for everyone.

The water-loving giants were given the name “river horse” by the Greeks and for good reason. The hippopotamus spends up to 16 hours of their day in the water, keeping cool from the baking African sun. They are very graceful swimmers and can hold their breath for up to minutes. This isn’t surprising considering their closest relatives are whales and dolphins. They secrete an oily red substance to protect themselves from the harsh rays which act as a sunblock and moisturiser and may even protect them against germs. This red stuff sparked a few rumours that they sweat blood but we can assure you that this isn’t true!

As the sun goes down the hippos come out of the water to graze on grasses. Hippos can get a bit feisty. They are highly aggressive and very unpredictable making them one of the most dangerous animals in the world. They are very good runners and can match humans for speed for short distances. They also have an impressive yawn which can be used as a threat display.

Hippos love the water so much they even mate and give birth there. The baby must swim to the surface to take their first breath so are born swimming! The babies need a lot of help from mum, resting on her back if the water is too deep for them and as protection from predators such as crocodiles, lions, hyenas and male hippos. When they want to suckle, they may have to do it underwater where they close their ears and nostrils so they don’t breathe in water. Hippo mothers are very protective of their calves but will sometimes leave them in nurseries under the watchful eye of a few adults. Here, the babies can have play fights with other calves, developing important skills for when they are full grown. The calves are fully weaned after a year.

Hippos are threatened by habitat loss, seeing their favourite water holes drying up at an alarming rate. With climate change reducing the rainy season they are also seeing reduced food options. They are also at major risk from poaching. A 2006 study showing a 20% reduction in the past decade. They are killed for their meat as well as the ivory from their tusks. Like elephants, this ivory is worth a lot of money and is a huge draw for many people desperate to make a living. Many local people are also reliant on their meat for food.

Description
It can be hard growing up without parents but it doesn’t seem to bother this 5-year-old baby giant tortoise. She’s been on her own as soon as she cracked through her egg and joined her siblings in the open air. She has the instincts to show her the way but there are a few things that haven't been hardwired into her. The people brought their own animals to her island long ago, cats and dogs but also cows. She has started to learn how to avoid the predators mostly but the cows are a big pain. They eat her food and she needs that if she is to make it into a grand old age!

These giants are a window into a pre-historic time. The biggest living tortoises by far, these species of reptiles give us an idea of the simply enormous ones that would have roamed our world. They now survive in two remote groups where they can live for a very long time, over 100 years. They roam around with their great shells which are attached to their ribs. These shells are not solid but made up of honeycomb-shaped air chambers.

Tortoises have a very hands-off approach to parenting. The female will lay her eggs (2-25 depending on the species) in a nest she has dug into the sand. She will cover it back up and head off. The hatchlings will need to dig themselves out of the hole when they are ready. The temperature of the sand can affect the gender of the hatchlings: warmer temperatures give more females and colder temperatures give more males.

There once many more species of giant tortoises but many became extinct soon after humans arrived and the surviving populations were badly affected. Giant tortoises do not need to eat or drink for a very long time so for early humans this made for effective meals, being able to take like tortoises across great distances and then eat them fresh. They were also used for their oil to light lamps. Now, with dedicated breeding programmes, the numbers of many of the remaining species of tortoises are increasing. They are still threatened by introduced species such as cats and dogs who attack the young tortoises and cattle who are competition for grazing.

Description
Living in the wet bamboo forests in the mountains of China is just the life for a rolly black and white bear. This 7-month-old baby loves the peace and tranquillity disturbed only by him and his mother playfully tumbling through the undergrowth. Having no predators makes things a lot easier for this little bear but his mother worries about what he will do when he is old enough to leave home. Their habitat is getting much too small with people developing all around making it impossible to get from one side of their territory to the other.

The national treasure of China, this cuddly-looking black and white bear has been a symbol of conservation for decades. Living in the temperate forests of the mountains of China, they spend 12 hours of their day eating bamboo, 26-84 pounds of it. It has elongated wrist bones, similar to thumbs, which have developed specifically for the task of plucking stalks. Even though they may appear to be sedentary animals they are actually very good climbers and swimmers.

For most people, the only way to see a panda is in a zoo. Because of their iconic black and white markings, they become invisible in the masses of bamboo they hide in. Pandas are solitary creatures with an incredible sense of smell to help them to avoid one another. The only time they come together is to mate. Mating in captivity has been notoriously difficult with a natural mating now very rare. Incredibly, while the world sat in lockdown, two pandas finally found themselves in the mood. Maybe all they needed was a little privacy!

A mother will give birth to one or two cubs but she can only take care of one. These babies are born blind, cannot crawl, and are pink with little white hairs. The tiny baby is completely helpless and nurses 6-14 times a day in sessions up to half an hour long. Occasionally the mother will need to leave the den for a few hours to feed where she leaves her baby defenceless. They will start to develop their iconic black and white look a month after they are born. At about 2 ½ months old the mother will start to play and wrestle with her cub and feed it small amounts of bamboo but it will keep drinking her milk for a year. The family will stay together for about 2 years after which the cub will head out to find its own territory.

Giant pandas were rapidly heading towards extinction. But with a huge push for conservation efforts in the '60s, the giant panda has moved from the classification of rare to vulnerable, now with around 1,800 in the wild. 67 panda reserves in China protect around two-thirds of the giant pandas in the wild and more than 50% of the giant panda's habitat. This is important as one of the biggest threats still facing the panda is habitat loss. Development for dams, roads, and railways are fragmenting the panda's habitats making it difficult for them to find potential mates and more bamboo.

Description
At 3 months old this little boy is finally old enough to follow his mother out on a hunt. Picking their way through the jungles of India, they search for something to at. He stays as quiet as a can, fighting the urge to playfully launch himself at his mothers swinging tail. But after hours of searching the have found nothing. They see a farm up ahead with plenty of animals, but the leopard cub can feel his mothers unease. It’s dangerous taking from the humans but this time, it seems they have no choice.

The smallest of the large cats may be one of the most adaptable, the leopard can live in almost any type of habitat, from deserts to swamps. They are solitary creatures who spend their days sleeping and their night's hunting, using their spotted “rosette” coat as camouflage, blending in with the leaves of trees.

They spend a decent amount of their time in trees being very capable climbers. They will even drag their prey, which can sometimes way more than they do, up to protect it from other scavenging animals. They are quite happy to eat whatever comes their way, from a gazelle to a cheetah cub, or even a snake.

Leopards usually give birth to at least two cubs who are small and grey with barely visible spots. They are completely helpless and the mother needs to move them to different safe locations until they can start playing and learning to hunt. It is a very dangerous time for a leopard as cubs have a mortality rate of 41-50% in their first year. They are threatened by different predators but their biggest threat is other leopards. At about 3 months old the cubs can follow their mother on hunts at one year old can hunt for themselves. They will stay with her for about 2 years.

The biggest threat to leopards is habitat loss and fragmentation with their forested homes being turned into agricultural land. In Africa alone, it has been estimated that 66% of their range is gone due to human expansion. This in turn reduces their natural prey, forcing them to look to livestock which has deep repercussions when the farmers retaliate. They are also a target for trophy hunters and poachers. Their coats are a coveted item on the illegal wildlife trade as are its bones.

Description
This 8-month-old polar bear is out of his warm den and having the best of time. He and his sister have been snuggled up with their mother over the winter and are now thrilled to be able to play, tumbling and wrestling with each other in a game that will teach them crucial skills to defend themselves. But his mother is worried. Every year she has seen the sea ice declining further and further. She worries about her cubs and how they will find food without coming into contact with humans.

A descendent of the brown bear, the polar bear is the only bear who is considered a marine mammal. They spend so much time on the freezing sea ice and are completely dependent on the ocean for both it’s food and habitat. They are very strong swimmers with large front paws and slightly webbed back feet and can swim constantly for days at a time. Their thick white fur that is crucial for keeping them warm is not white, but translucent, reflecting the snow around them which gives it it’s colour. Their skin on the other hand is black.

Polar bears live solitary lives, learning all the skills necessary with their mother and sibling (usually polar bears give birth to twins) before heading out on their own. The mother will usually give birth in winter, digging a den deep in a snowdrift to protect her cubs and give them some insulation from the freezing outdoors. The mother started her winter in hibernation and once her cubs are born, she continues to fast while still feeding her cubs on milk. When the weather starts to warm the mother will break out of the den, feeding on any vegetation while her cubs play, getting used to using their legs for walking. When they are ready, they will start the long walk to the sea ice where the mother can hunt for seal. The cubs will stay with her for 28 months before she chases them away, forcing them to become independent.

Despite their stereotype for being aggressive, the polar bear is not territorial and will often choose to run away rather than fight. Polar bears will usually only attack if they are severely provoked or hungry. This doesn’t mean they aren’t dangerous. The largest of all bears, this is not an animal you would want to cross.

But with Arctic sea ice cover declining by about 14% per decade, the polar bear is coming into trouble. With less sea ice to hunt on, polar bears are forced into areas inhabited by humans to search for food. This can be dangerous for both bear and human. They are also threatened by our industrial exploits that are becoming more and more frequent in the Arctic, the hunt for oil. Not only is this a disturbance and taking away more of their homes, but an oil spill could also be devastating for them as well as the entire ecosystem. It is so important to look for alternatives to help protect these precious bears and all the other animals who call this wintery wonderland home.

This cub is ready to explore his snowy home. He has been tucked in a den for winter and now it’s time for him to play and get used to his legs before his long walk to the sea ice. His biggest threats are other polar bears who may try to kill him and habitat loss from the warming temperatures, leaving his species vulnerable. #wildaboutbabies #lovethelast

Description
This 3-month-old is a southern white rhino. It is very easy to distinguish her from a baby northern white rhino because there are no baby northern white rhinos in the entire world. She lives in a National Park in southern Africa where there is now a lot more protection for her. Poachers are wiping out rhinos all over the world, lusting after their horns which can get them a lot of money on the black market.

There are only 2 left in the world, mother and daughter Najin and Fatu. They are under 24 hour guarded surveillance at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya where they are still threatened by poachers. The white rhino is the second-largest land mammal in the world and is not actually white at all. Its name may have come from a misunderstanding of the Afrikaan’s name “weit” which means wide. White rhinos have a wide square lip whereas black rhinos have a pointed upper lip, so the name could be in reference to their mouth.

Description
This baby is only 4 months old and loves finding wonderful mud holes to jump in. There are so many exciting things to see in her protected home and she has a lot to learn from mum. She feels quite safe in her sanctuary, her mother told her what it was like before when people with guns would hunt them. But now her mum has another problem. As they walk through the trees together, her mum tries to show her what plants are good to eat. But there is one plant that seems to be taking over and it is not good to eat at all.

With only around 74 left in one national park in Java, the Ujung Kulon National Park, the Javan Rhino is one of the most endangered animals in the world. Once the most widespread Asian rhinoceros, ranging right through Southeast Asian to India and China it is now confined to the tropical jungles of it’s protected national park, the last sanctuary. The last Javan rhino in Vietnam was found in 2010, dead with its horn removed.

Javan rhinos are solitary animals and very rarely seen. The males have large territories which they mark with urine, faeces, scrapes, and twisted saplings. The females have much smaller territories and overlap with each other. They are vegetarians, eating mostly leaves, young shoots and twigs. They also spend a large portion of their day wallowing in mud. They find pools and puddles and deepen them with their horn and feet. It is very important for them for thermo-regulation, keeping their skin in good condition, and getting rid of any parasites and insects.

Poaching is the reason this animal is facing extinction. Their horn is used in traditional Asian medicine an
