Manatees touch snouts in the warm waters of the Three Sisters Springs wildlife refuge in Crystal River, Florida, US. More than 400 animals were in the area to escape from the cold gulf waters as manatees can not survive for long periods of time in cold water.

Bear’s-eye view … this image comes from a camera attached to a grizzly bear’s collar, as part of a project run by Washington State University and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The bears live on Alaska’s north slope, at the very top of the state. Researchers are trying to find out how they manage to eat enough to stay alive despite hibernating for eight months of the year.

Out cold … in Sunrise, Florida, US, conservation officials are dealing with a spate of iguanas in torpor, handed in by residents who have found the reptiles immobilised by the cold. If temperatures drop low enough, iguanas will drop out of trees and stay immobile until they manage to warm up again.

Cementing sloths’ reputation as the cuddliest tree-dwelling mammals, this mother and baby sloth curl up together in an animal rescue centre in Costa Rica. Along with a male sloth, they were found in the Santa Elena hills of Nicoya, far outside their natural range, raising suspicions that they had been stolen as part of the illegal wildlife trade.
