A Quokka At Featherdale Wildlife Park - Sydney

Visitors take photos of a quokka and her baby on the Rottnest Island in Australia, Oct. 25, 2024. Often called "the happiest animal in the world", Quokkas are a small marsupial related to Kangaroos. They have grey-brown fur and small, rounded ears, feeding on fresh, young grasses, leaves and succulents, as well as plant roots. The quokka's range is a small area of southwestern Australia. They inhabit some smaller islands off the coast of Western Australia, particularly Rottnest Island just off Perth. Quokkas there have become very accustomed to humans. The species is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of threatened species due to habitat loss, climatic factors and predation by feral animals (cats and foxes).

The Kurds of Khorasan - Iran

View from around Hadi's house where the herd are feeding. They are one of the Kurdish nomadic families of Kermanj who were forced to migrate from their homeland to these areas to protect the eastern borders of Iran, and during this period they lost many of their cultural characteristics and behaviors. They are animal husbandry now and still speak Kurdish, but the clothes they wear are no longer Kurdish and their behaviors have completely changed and most of them do not even know where their original birthplace was.

Surrounded by snow mountains in four directions, the district is a natural shelter for Tibetan antelopes to avoid the natural enemies. The animal enters its peak season of reproducing in July. Thousands of baby Tibetan antelopes are born here every year. In the guide of their mothers, the babies will learn basic living skills such as standing, walking and running within half an hour after birth. Tibetan antelopes are under the first-class protection of the country. (Xinhua/Wang Peng)

(230508) -- WUWEI, May 8, 2023 (Xinhua) -- A staff member checks a rotary milking machine at a dairy farm in Wuwei, northwest China's Gansu Province, May 7, 2023. AI-powered devices have boosted efficiency of the farm, making animal monitoring and management more accurate. A monitoring necklace attached to each cow collects multiple data of the animal such as breath, rumination frequency, feeding situation and number of steps. These data are transmitted in real-time to veterinarians who can monitor the cows' milking and health conditions. Additionally, electronic ear tags provide a convenient method for identifying and managing individual cows, similar to giving each cow an ID. (Xinhua/Ma Xiping)
