A Russian T-72 tank emblazoned with the 'Z' denoting Russia's eastern forces as well as a symbol of the conflict itself, proceeds northwards along the main Mariupol-Donetsk road. Many people are trying to flee the city on foot into territory controlled by the Donetsk People's Republic. More than 200,000 people are trapped in the strategic city described by those who managed to escape as a "freezing hellscape riddled with dead bodies and destroyed buildings," Human Rights Watch said.

The beautiful chaos of Living with cats, - Mar 2016
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/s55p
Cats are always up to mischief...whether it is scratching curtains, knocking things over or sitting on top of your work. However, these loveable furry-friends are forever capturing the hearts of their human friends.
Photographer Mikael Theimer has captured a series of photos showing the beautiful chaos of living with four cats called Gribouille, Django, Moo and Aragon.
Mikael said: "I've been a full time photographer for the past two years, and my speciality is to photograph life as it happens. And when you live with four cats, you've got tons of opportunities to take pictures of them! I rarely posted any of them online though, because I focus more on street photography."

Elephant herd enjoy their new mud wallowing pool at Melbourne Zoo, Australia - 01 Apr 2015
With temperatures rising in Melbourne it was the perfect opportunity for Melbourne Zoo's elephants to try out their new mud wallowing pool. As the temperatures topped 29 degrees celcius, the entire herd was busy turning themselves from grey to orange as they covered themselves in the clay mud that keepers have provided in recent weeks. Mud baths play a critical role for elephants as it not only cools them down, but also provides a protective layer from the sun's rays. Thanks to their sparse hair elephants can get sunburnt, especially young ones. However, Melbourne's resident youngster didn't look too sure about all that mud and was seen tentatively sloshing up to his knees but no further. The adult elephants had no such reservations and happily sprayed themselves from head to toe before washing it all off again with a refreshing swim.

Spot The Critter: Camouflaged Sea Creatures
Can you spot the critter?
These amazing images show the lengths - or is that depths? - these undersea creatures go to disguise themselves.
British photographer Ed Brown captured these pictures last month at Lembeh Strait in Indonesia.
He explains: "The pictures were taken on my latest trip to Indonesia, a place called Lembeh Strait, well known to divers for having some of the best "muck diving" in the world. Muck diving can be characterised by the black sand and general bleakness of the seabed. It doesn't look much, but hides some of the weirdest critters you'll find underwater. The occasional coral outcrops house some of the more colourful examples; the pygmy seahorse (Hippocampus bargibanti) being a particular favourite of mine, and only about 2cm big."

Gigantic steller sea lion dwarfs its tiny California sea lion cousins, Moss Landing, California, America - 2013

A large Steller sea lion scratches itself with its hind flippers while smaller California sea lions sleep around him.
Yes, I'm Special: Gigantic Steller Sea Lion is Head and Shoulders Above The Rest
Some guys just think they are special - and this pumped-up steller seal lion certainly towers above the rest of his cousins.
The gigantic specimen was spotted amidst his diminutive sea lion pals at Moss Landing, California. Although, hilariously, one appears to be trying to ape his huge pal's pose.
Photographer Michael Yang says he has been making this his vacation home for the past several years.
He explains: "He visits for several weeks at a time and resting on the already crowded dock when he is not out hunting for prey.
"The much smaller California sea lions, which are here most of the year, give way when he wants to come onboard.
"The California sea lions are already a local tourist attraction having completely taken over the Visitor's Dock. The Steller sea lion draws even more people. Most people are amazed at how much bigger he is compared to the California sea lions. The dock is right off Highway 1 and only a couple of feet from the parking lot making the sea lions very accessible."
Shelbi Stoudt, Stranding and Data Manager at The Marine Mammal Center, says that the first time they encountered this Steller sea lion was in March of 2011. Since then, it has been coming back yearly for a couple of weeks at a time to rest with the California sea lions on the same dock.
Although this is within the normal range of the Steller sea lion (there is a breeding colony about 40 miles away at Año Nuevo Island), Stoudt explains that it is unusual behavior for a Steller sea lion to rest with a group of California sea lions. She assumes that this is a younger male animal as they tend to explore more, returning to the breeding...

Tigers let injured vulture get away, Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh, India - 2012

The Merciful Tigers: Predators Let Young Vulture Get Away
These stunning images show a young vulture looking like it is about to become a tiger's lunch - only to be allowed to escape.
Wildlife photographer Santosh Saligram captured the amazing scene as three tigers looked set for an easy meal.
He took these shots of a tigress and her two female juveniles in the wild at Bandhavgarh national park in central India.
Santosh explains: "The resident tigress and two of her female cubs were cooling off in the water of the famous Rajbehra Dam area.
"Suddenly, one of the tigresses noticed something on a rock at the corner and both the sisters went off to investigate.
"They reappeared shortly, following a juvenile long-billed vulture which seemed to have lost its way from its nest and incapacitated in some way.
"Threatened by the tigers, it tried to fly but only managed to flop down into the water. One of the tigresses then approached the vulture from the other side in a curious way.
"The vulture opened its beak wide in defence, hoping to put the tiger off, which it successfully did.
"Slowly, it started creeping towards the bank and after some time, climbed up the bank and disappeared into the bush. It was amazing, I have never seen anything like this happen in the wild."

12-year-old becomes youngest Royal Photographic Society member to gain a distinction, Britain - 25 Oct 2011

12-Year-Old Sam Is Top Snapper
A 12-year-old schoolboy has become the youngest ever member of the Royal Photographic Society to gain a distinction - after submitting a series of stunning wildlife photos.
Fellows of the world's oldest photographic society were shocked to discover Sam Kaye was still at school after they judged his work anonymously and awarded him the huge honour.
Sam, who started taking photos when he was just six, beat hundreds of photographers from all over the world, to become a licentiate of the esteemed society.
He can now write the letters LRPS - Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society - after his name.
"It is an excellent achievement for someone so young," said Stuart Blake, from the Royal Photographic Society (RPS).
"We have people who are much older apply for the title and do not come anywhere near the standard required.
"The level of competence needed has increased considerably over the years, so he has done remarkably well."
The RPS was founded in 1853 and has more than 10,500 members worldwide.
Members can apply for a distinction by submitting 10 photos, which are then judged anonymously. Last year only two thirds of those who applied were successful.
Sam, who particularly enjoys taking photos of animals and nature, built up his portfolio while on holiday in South Africa.
His amazing images include a close-up of a fox in the grass, a cheetah hunting, a hippo enjoying a cool bath and an owl perched in a tree.
Other photos show a lion and lioness fighting, a bright blue kingfisher, a water vole peeking out of the stream and an elephant with a twisty trunk.
"I'm extremely proud of him. He's had a camera since he was six and he's just got better and better," said mum Su.
"We took a trip to South Africa last year and he got some great shots that I wish I'd ta...

California sea otters at rest, Moss Landing, California, America - 3 Sep 2011

California sea otter wraps itself in kelp to keep from floating away while sleeping on its back
Take It Easy: Sea Otters at Rest
Talk about taking it easy, these sea otters know how to relax in style.
A group of around forty California Sea Otters were snapped by wildlife photographer Michael Yang as they snoozed off the coast of Moss Landing, California.
The marine mammals rest by floating on their backs but find they slowly drift into shore whereupon they wake up and paddle back out to repeat the process.
That is, apart from one enterprising otter that anchored itself in place with kelp.
Michael explains: "While resting, each otter seemed to have its own peculiar way of arranging its paws. Some otters put their paws on their chest, some cover their eyes, and some put their paws straight up as if they were signalling a touchdown. This is just one example of anthropomorphic characteristics which make the sea otters so enjoyable to watch and why people label sea otters as "cute."
"Because of the tides, this raft of sea otters was constantly being pushed towards the shore where we were. Whenever they got too close, one otter would stir up, causing a chain reaction waking everyone up. Once awake, the otters would swim away from the shore and go back to resting, starting the cycle again.
"One sea otter was stationary in the water while resting because he had anchored himself with what we think is kelp. While the rest of the group floated one way and swam the other, he remained mostly in place.
"If they aren't resting or feeding, they are cleaning. The cleaning process adds air to the fur which helps them to float."

Robin examines itself in a mirror placed on the ground, Fareham, Hampshire, Britain - 03 May 2011

The Prettiest Birdie Of Them All?
Mirror mirror on the wall who is the prettiest birdie of them all?
This robin appears fascinated by its own reflection as it peers into a shiny surface.
The moment took place after photographer Mike Walker put a mirror down in his garden in Fareham, Hampshire to see how the birds would react.
And rather than be startled by its reflection, or see it as a rival to chase off, this robin was eager to examine itself from all angles.
Returning several times it cocked its head this way and that and opened and closed its wings - as though trying to find its most photogenic side.
At one point the hungry creature even brought its lunch of tasty grubs along so that it could get a closer look.
Speaking about the bird's antics Mike said: "The robin couldn't get enough of itself".
