2. Four-month-old lowland gorilla Tumaini learns to walk on July 18 at the Diane Fossey Gorilla Center in Goma, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Tumaini, which means hope in the Kiswili language, was rescued from poachers two months ago and arrived to the center in poor health. She and other gorillas are cared for by specialists trying to preserve the dwindling population of great apes in Congo.

3. A baby endangered Black Rhinoceros stays close to her mother, 6 1/2 year old Circe, as she makes her public debut on July 19 at the Metrozoo in Miami, Fla. The 91.6 pound calf was born July 15 after an approximately 15-month gestation period. She is Circe's first baby.

4. Pinky and Perky, a pair of 4-week-old miniature piglets at England's Pennywell Farm and Wildlife Center, keep cool with a huge lolly packed with carrots and other vegetables. The recent heat wave has been exhausting for everyone and animals are no exception, said Catherine Tozer, assistant manager of the farm. All the animals have been struggling with the heat so we have just tried to do everything we can to make them more comfortable. After the initial shock and a bit of investigation, the ice lollies went down a real treat, she said.

6. A female monkey named Loona drinks to cool off during a heat wave on July 23, in Lyon, France. In parts of the country, temperatures neared 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

8. Children look on as a beached baby humpback whale, believed to be only a day old lays beached on Cabarita Beach, northern New South Wales, on July 18. The whale, separated from its mother, beached itself late the day before. The calf was put down via leathal injection by Sea World staff after attempts to locate its mother off-shore failed.

9. Flamingos feed in the lagoon of Fuente de Piedra, near Malaga, southern Spain.

11. A polar bear blows bubbles as he rests in a pond on at the Cleveland MetroParks Zoo.

12. Pygmy hippopotamuses 'Thug', left, and 'Nicky' line up to have their teeth cleaned with a new giant toothbrush at the London Zoo. The hippos' teeth are regularly cleaned by zoo keepers as part of their care routine and until now a broom for each hippo has done the job perfectly. This summer keepers decided the brooms just weren't snazzy enough for the hippos and ordered two giant 5-foot toothbrushes for the pair, a pink one for Thug and a blue one for Nicky.

13. A pig clings to a wall at a flooded farm in Huizhou, south China's Guangdong province. Rainstorms and flooding across China were triggered by the severe tropical storm Bilis, Xinhua News Agency reported.
