Animal Photo of the Day
A veterinarian stretches her hands to protect a little owl, which is poisoned by pesticide and suffering from a neurological disorder that makes it difficult to keep its balance while standing, after a medical check at the Beijing Raptor Rescue Center in Beijing, China. As Beijing falls along a north-south migratory route that the birds use, more than 43 types of raptors can be found in the city year-round, some of which die or are injured in collisions with skyscrapers and overhead lines or trapped by illegal bird catchers.

A real-life owl and the pussycat. A kitten and owl have become inseparable. The unlikely friendship began after a litter of stray kittens were handed in to the Hawk Conservancy Trust in Hampshire, after they were found abandoned on a nearby road, and one of the litter has become firm friends with Nigel, a white-faced scops owl.
