NATURE

Being fewer than three weeks
old, this calf in Kenya’s
Maasai Mara Reserve
doesn’t yet have control of
its trunk. Full coordination
of mouth, trunk and feet
takes nine months.

A young ring-tailed lemur in
Madagascar’s Berenty
Reserve holds on while its
mother drinks. After spending
its first fortnight clinging to
her chest, the youngster will
thereafter ride on her back.
