A 22-day-old giraffe calf named Zafira is seen next to her mother Ileana at the La Ponderosa Adventure Park in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, on August 22, 2020, amid the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic. The 100-hectare park, with more than 300 animals of thirteen different species, mainly of African origin, is attracting local and international visitors now that sanitary measures against the spread of COVID-19 are easing.

This undated handout picture released on August 24, 2020 by the USGS, Montana Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit shows an indigo flycatcher (Eumyias indigo) at nest in Kinabalu Park in Sabah, Malaysia. Songbirds in tropical rainforests curtail their reproduction to help them survive droughts, according to a study on August 24, 2020. Species with longer lifespans were better able to cope with this environmental volatility than previously thought, researchers found. (Photo by Thomas E.

Baldfaced hornets swarm out of their beachball sized nest attached to a tree on a hillside near Elkton in rural western Oregon on August 21, 2020. Baldfaced hornets are considered to be beneficial due to their predation of flies, caterpillars, and spiders. However, their aggressive defensive nature makes them a threat to humans who disturb their nests or wander close. The baldfaced hornet has a unique defense in that it can squirt or spray venom from the stinger into the eyes of nest intruders. (Photo by Robin Loznak/ZUMA Wire/Rex Features/Shutterstock)

A Brumby and an Eastern Grey Kangaroo are seen in the Yarrangobilly area of the Kosciuszko National Park on August 24, 2020 in Kosciuszko National Park, Australia. Free-roaming feral horses, known as Brumbies, are found across Australia. Believed to be descended from animals imported by early British colonialists, the Brumby population is estimated to be in the thousands, with the highest concentration of horses roaming Australia's alpine region, which straddles the state border of Victoria and New South Wales. With large numbers of Brumbies trampling through protected National Parks, their fate has long been a subject of heated debate. On one side are those that want the total eradication of the animals – those who consider them a feral, invasive and destructive species. At the other end are those that advocate for the protection of what are viewed as “heritage animals“, so named for their role in the mythology of the high country, immortalised in poems such as Banjo Paterson's “The Man from Snowy River”. In New South Wales the current policy approach is an attempt at finding a middle ground. National Parks New South Wales authorities are currently reducing Brumby numbers via the 'passive capture' of the animals - horses are lured with food into gated traps. The animals are then taken to a holding area before being sent out for “re-homing”. Nikki Alberts, who runs 'White Alpine Equine' in Adaminaby is a re-homing volunteer, who takes on the expense of housing and breaking in Brumbies that come to her. Nikki has just taken on six new wild Brumbies, alongside another two she has been working with since late October 2019. (Photo by Brook Mitchell/Getty Images)

A man holds open the mouth of a dead Melon-headed whale (Peponocephala electra) also known as Electra dolphin showing what appears to be oil in the mouth after it washed up with eight others in Grand Sable, Mauritius, 26 August 2020. Local reports indicate nine melon-headed whales washed up. According to Greenpeace Africa the carcasses have been taken for post mortem analysis to establish cause of death and if there is a connection with the oil spill from the MV Wakashio, a Japanese owned Panama-flagged bulk carrier after it ran aground off the southeast coast of Mauritius spilling more than 1000 tons of fuel.
