 This polar bear looks as if it has taken a wrong turning as it roams an Arctic landscape covered in beautiful fireweed flowers instead of snow. The pictures were captured in Hudon Bay, Canada, by keen photographer Michael Poliza, 53, who couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the lonely white figure strolling through the purple flowers.

 He's behind you! Meet the world's worst hunting dog. This beagle failed to spot the fox behind him. The dog had strayed too close to a den containing four fox cubs, but their protective parents stood their ground. Naturalist and photographer Mircea Costina captured the scene in a forest north of Montreal, Canada. |

 A white cat called Sioma chases a fox away at a nature reserve guard post on the Kamchatka peninsula in far-eastern Russia. The fox approached the guard post warily and the pair circled each other for a while before the fox decided it had met its match and slunk off. Sergey Krasnoshchokov, who took the pictures, said: "Sioma has a strong character. I found that out the moment I tried to pat him and he started to bite me and hiss. Sioma has done some good things. Now there are no mice at the house at the guard post." |

 A sugar glider flings itself from a branch with the full moon behind it. Husband and wife duo Mary Ann and Joe McDonald from Pennsylvania in the US photographed the gliding marsupials - native to Australia - in their back garden. The couple erected a 15ft post and left a mixture of nuts at the bottom to coax the sugar gliders to leap down past the camera lens in order to capture them in flight. |

 This picture provided by ProAves Foundation shows a red-crested tree rat (Santamartamys rufodorsalis) that was seen at the El Dorado natural reserve in the Santa Martas Snowy Mountain Range, Colombia. The rodent was 'rediscovered' in the north of Colombia by a group of scientists, 113 years after its last sighting. |

 Mother orangutan Britt snatches back her ten-month-old baby Charlie on a feeding platform at the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in Sepilok in Borneo, Malaysia. Just like a curious toddler this young orangutan wandered too far from mum before she reeled him back in. Sepilok cares for around 100 orangutans in an unfenced jungle reserve. All have been rescued from loss of habitat or after becoming orphans though the logging and palm oil industries ravaging Borneo's forests.Go to The NEXT Page for More Pictures >>> |
