Five does (female roe deer) and a young fawn with a missing patch of fur roam on a nearly-empty sidewalk in Zakopane, southern Poland, 16 April 2020.

Animals freely roaming around towns and cities they had previously avoided are becoming an increasingly common sight around the planet. (Photo by Grzegorz Momot/EPA/EFE)





Substitution mothers are on the way to the forest school with orphaned orangutans where they will teach them to climb trees in Sibolangit, SOCP Quarantine Centre, North Sumatra, Indonesia on January 22, 2019. Like humans, the mother orangutan has to teach her kids everything they need to know to survive on their own. At the SOCP center, human caregivers take on that maternal role. It is the first step in a teaching, socialization and rehabilitation program with the goal of release at the age of 7 to 8 years old. This corresponds with the age when orangutans naturally leave their parents in the wild. (Photo by Alain Schroeder/National Geographic)
