Emperor Tamarin Monkey Twin Orphans
In this August 2009 handout photograph provided by The Denver Zoo, one of the emperor tamarin monkey twins is groomed with a toothbrush by a handler. The tamarin twins named Lara and Lucy were orphaned on July 30 when their mother died of cancer, three weeks after giving birth. As a result, zookeepers are feeding the monkeys by hand.(AP Photo/HO, The Denver Zoo, Dave Parsons)

Emmenopterys henryi tree flower
A flower from the Emmenopterys henryi tree, originally from the Chinese forests, is pictured in bloom at an arboretum near Antwerp, in Kalmthout, providing a very rare sight for Europe. The tree, a Chinese member of the coffee plant family, was first planted in Europe in 1907. Before today's flowering it had bloomed only four times in Europe.(AFP/John Thys)
