A baby vulture at a New York zoo is fed by hand puppet at the Bronx zoo, New York, US, in March. King vultures can neglect their chicks, so hand-feeding is necessary to ensure the baby survives, but staff disguise themselves to ensure the birds don’t bond with their human carers.

Wrap Artists of the Year
Rescued baby flying foxes rest, wrapped up, after being injured by giant hailstones, some as large as a cricket ball, in Queensland storms, #Australia, in November. Almost 120 fruit bats (as they are also known) were injured, some critically, before being rescued by volunteers and admitted to the RSPCA wildlife hospital.
