A dominant male Chacma baboon fights for access to females in Tsoaobis Leopard Park in Namibia in this 2007 handout photo provided by Eurekalert.org on November 12, 2014. Predators like leopards and cheetahs are not the biggest mortal threat to baby Chacma baboons, large and aggressive monkeys that live across southern Africa. That threat comes from adult males of their own species. (Photo by Elise Huchard/Reuters)

Red deer graze following the end of the rutting season on November 12, 2014 in Glen Etive, Scotland. The rutting season sees the large red deer stags compete against each other for mating rights and can be heard roaring and bellowing in an attempt to attract the hinds. The rut draws to a close in early November when the males will spend the winter feeding to regain strength for the following year's season. (Photo by Jeff J. Mitchell/Getty Images)

Undated handout photo issued by The National Trust of one of the first seal pups of the season to have been born at the site of one of England's biggest colonies, Blakeney Point, on the north Norfolk coast. Grey seal numbers at Blakeney Point have grown steadily since 25 pups were born there 13 years ago. Last winter, 1,566 pups were born and with numbers increasing by about 25% each year, it is expected to become the biggest colony in England. (Photo by Justin Minns/PA Wire/The National Trust)

A adorable bear cub cant get enough of playing buckaroo – as it hangs onto its mum splashing about in a river. His mum was attempting to catch a fish supper for the pair as the plucky cub continued to jump on her back. And as she was concentrating on her meal the young bear became a distraction. So she sprung into life with him on her back before he was tossed into the water much to his delight. (Photo by Lisa Sidorsky/Caters News)

A one-week-old female baby Sumatran elephant is seen next to her mother, Siska, at the private Taman Safari zoo in Pasuruan in eastern Java island on November 14, 2014. The baby, born on November 6, was succesfully bred in captivity as part of conservation efforts for the critically-endangered Sumatran elephant. There are fewer than 3,000 Sumatran elephants remaining in the wild, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. According to conservationists rampant expansion of palm oil, paper plantations, and mines, has destroyed nearly 70 percent of the Sumatran elephant's forest habitat over 25 years and the animals remain a target of poaching.

A snow-covered horse grazes a pasture near Cremona, Alta., Sunday, November 9, 2014, during the first heavy snow fall of the season. Heavy snow and plunging temperatures are expected to hit the Upper Midwest section of the United States this week, leaving as much of a foot of snow in its wake and pushing thermometer readings down 20- to 40- degrees overnight, part of a system being pushed in by the remnants of Typhoon Nuri that hit Alaska's Aleutian Islands with hurricane-strength winds over the weekend.

Only cubs aged below 18 months are taken for lion walk. Once they grow older, human interaction is limited. The big cats will be groomed for release into the wild once they acquire the hunting skills and grow an edge to secure food against competitive predators like hyenas. (Photo by Caters News)
