Photo by @amivitale for @natgeo. Joseph Lolngojine, a Samburu warrior turned elephant caretaker, watches over baby elephant Kinya near Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (@r.e.s.c.u.e) in Northern Kenya. Moments after this photo was taken, it was decided to bring her to the sanctuary to try to save her life. Follow all of us, @r.e.s.c.u.e, nearby @sararacamp and @amivitale to support and learn more about these initiatives.

Video by @bertiegregory. A Sri Lankan leopard sizes up to a huge 3m/10ft mugger crocodile. In the hours leading up to this standoff, this leopard had been feeding on the buffalo calf kill pictured in this frame. This attracted the attention of a group of mugger crocodiles in a nearby pond. Keen on stealing the leopards meal, one of the crocodiles slowly walked towards the leopard and the kill. Considering the size and armour of this crocodile, I was sure the leopard would run away. I was wrong. In fact, it did the exact opposite stepping over the kill and bluff charging the crocodile. Follow @bertiegregory to see the climax of this face-off when the leopard started throwing punches!
