Our photographers have provided lots of strong new material over the last month - marvellous meerkats, strong coverage on urban leopards in Mumbai, otters in Singapore and peregrines in Chicago, misbehaving monkeys, cute sea otters, weird shoebill storks, and perfect pigs. Not to mention Lake Baikal underwater, the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the endemic flora and fauna of the Seychelles and the lost cities of Iraq!
