In this picture taken on Saturday, February 20, 2016, African wild dogs are seen at private game lodge in Limpopo-Lipadi, Botswana. The African wild dog, an endangered species with big ears and a patchy white, yellow and black pelt, is a footnote to other imperiled animals such as the lion and rhino, which are viewed as having gravitas that the wild dog supposedly lacks. Limpopo-Lipadi has 17 wild dogs; the population was reduced to half a dozen around the end of 2014 because of rabies, but recovered with the birth of pups.

A handout picture taken on January 15, 2016 and provided by Tatjana Zharkikh, head of Russia's Przewalski horse reintroduction project, shows Przewalski horses rolling in the snow at a field in the Orenburg Reserves, a cluster of six nature reserves near the border with Kazakhstan. If the world's only surviving wild horse species had a say in the matter, scientists studying the Przewalski horse joke, it would opt for a cozy stable and fresh daily oats. But the path out of oblivion for the ancient species – which only two decades ago was extinct in the wild – lies in getting on a plane to China, Mongolia and, most recently, the Russian steppes with their deep snow and icy winds.

A picture made available on 09 March 2016 shows a macaque from the monkey drama troupe “Prakit Sitpragaan” holding two baskets to collect tips from visitors during a show at a zoo in Bangkok, Thailand, 28 February 2016. “Prakit Sitpragaan” have been performing in Thailand for over 30 years. The director of the troupe, Panya Ganrobroo, inherited the position from his uncle. In the past, monkey theatre was performed at local fairs or held at temples during religious ceremonies. Although its existence is disappearing from Thai society, monkey entertainers are now recognized as an asset of historical Thai culture. Using ventriloquism, Prakit Sitpragaan traditionally performs stories adapted from Asian classical novels and folklore. In an attempt to make the show more accessible to younger audience and tourists, Panya Ganrobroo also includes more contemporary plots in the show's repertoire. During the show, monkeys perform feats such as spinning a pole on fire or jumping through hoops made of knives. (Photo by Diego Azubel/EPA)

A picture made available on 07 March 2016 of a Meerkat in the petting room at the Little Zoo Cafe, a business built to capitalize on Thais' love for exotic animals, and food, on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand, 05 March 2016. The cafe boasts Fennec foxes, Meerkat, native to parts of Africa, Silver Fox, Raccoon and Chinchillas, along with a menu of Thai food and Cheesecake, among other sweet deserts. Nature is a faraway fantasy in the bustling exhaust-filled cement city of Bangkok, fuelling a demand to own and be close to exotic pets. The trend to be near to a species that was once wild, in a city environment, far from the natural setting, has drawn criticism but continues to grow. (Photo by Barbara Walton/EPA)

A two day old endangered African penguin chick is inspected by Romy Klusner, Head of the Chick Rearing Unit at the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) in Cape Town, South Africa, 09 March 2016. During egg season African penguin eggs are rescued from nearby colonies by Penguin Rangers from the South African National Parks (SANParks) and Cape Nature organisation. These eggs have either been abandoned by their parents or the adult penguins were found nesting in areas outside of the protected colony, putting both the adults and their young at risk. In such cases the adult penguins are relocated to the safety of the colony and the eggs are brought to SANCCOB for hand-rearing. For the next three months these penguin chicks receive treatment by SANCCOB until as juvenile penguins they are deemed fit and healthy enough for release back into the wild.
