A trio of striped Hyena cubs stand on their play-blanket at the Kenya Wildlife Service headquarters on March 24, 2011 in Nairobi where they have lived since their rescue a month ago. The striped Hyaena [Hyaena hyaena] is considered threatened in all parts of its Africa range where data are sufficient to evaluate the local status with the exceptions of Ethiopia and Kenya where it is considered a Lower Risk : ‘Near Threatened’ by an International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN, evaluation of the year 2000. The striped hyaena has been widely hunted through poisoning, baiting traps, pits, or with the help of dogs such that it may come close to meeting a continuing decline of 10% over the next three generation. A tentative estimate of the total worldwide population size is 5,000 to 14,000 individuals. AFP PHOTO / Tony KARUMBA (Photo credit should read TONY KARUMBA/AFP/Getty Images)

Melbourne Zoo?s newest primate baby, a three week-old Colobus monkey, is held in the arms of her mother Clover, in Melbourne on June 29, 2011. Keepers have not been able to determine the sex of the newborn monkey which is pure white and won?t display any black markings until it?s several months old. Black and White Colobus Monkeys, native to Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania and Kenya, have seen their populations suffer from the fur trade during colonial times, but now the greatest threats to their survival are the loss of their habitat and the bushmeat trade, the large-scale hunting to supply meat to towns and cities.

This photo taken on September 26, 2011 shows a group of giant panda cubs napping at a nursery in the research base of the Giant Panda Breeding Centre in Chengdu, in southwest China’s Sichuan province.
