Photos by @nicholesobecki | Meet Karlos and Ivana, two of the lion cubs rescued from South Africa’s Pienika Farm in April. The cubs are slowly recuperating under the nurturing hand of University of Minnesota neurology Ph.D. candidate Jessica Burkhart, who’s in charge of the cubs’ physical therapy at Old Chapel Veterinary Clinic. Veterinarian Peter Caldwell told us that at the time of their removal, the cubs “were in severe, excruciating pain … They were screaming like little babies almost.” Ivana had been near death. Three months of around-the-clock care have helped the cubs recover, but they’ll never heal completely. For this National Geographic investigation writer @rachelfobar and I were invited to Pienika, the controversial South African lion breeding farms that also offers sport hunts—and where Karlos and Ivana were born.

Photos by @babaktafreshi | This impressive Maya temple in Tikal is called the Great Jaguar, and you can hear the big cat if you spend enough time in this jungle at night. Protected in a national park in Guatemala, jaguars freely roam around the temples after dark, when tourists have departed. When I visited recently with special permission to document the site at night, the tropical sky had cleared after thunderstorms. Taurus (the bull) and the Pleiades star cluster (also known as the Seven Sisters) were rising above the 47-meter (154 feet) pyramid, which dates to 750 A.D.
There are both old stories and new studies on the importance of the Pleiades to the Maya (swipe for a closer view). One myth is that the people of Tikal believed they came from Pleiades, and the seven important pyramids of the Grand Plaza in Tikal represent the pattern of Pleiades. There is no doubt that some Maya pyramids were built to reflect astronomical events, and from atop Tikal’s pyramids, perhaps ancient astronomers tracked the movements of celestial objects, keeping time for rituals and agriculture. The Maya calendar was one of the most advanced of the ancient world, thanks to astronomical observations. When Pleiades rises at sunset and is visible for the entire night in November, that’s when the dry season and harvesting begin.
Tikal is one of the largest sites of Maya civilization, and at its peak was home to at least 60,000 Maya. Explore more of the world at night with me @babaktafreshi. #tikalnationalpark #saveournightsky #guatemala #maya #twanight

Photo by @katieorlinsky | Aliy Zirkle and her dog team are seen during the 2015 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. The Iditarod is a 1,000-mile trek across some of the world’s harshest terrain, from the wilderness of the Alaskan interior to the rugged coastal town of Nome, and is considered one of the toughest endurance races in the world.
Sled dog racing, or mushing, is one of the rare professional competitive sports that is truly coed, with women competing against men on a level playing field. In the 1980s, women dominated the sport, and a famous expression was born: “Alaska: Where men are men and women win the Iditarod.” Over the past decade, the top 10 Iditarod finishes between women and men are often close to an even split, and almost always include Aliy Zirkle, one of the best and most beloved dog mushers in Alaska. I made this picture of Aliy while standing on a bridge in the village of Nenana, the first race checkpoint. It was a beautiful moment, as I watched her team run across the frozen Tanana River in perfect rhythm, with equal parts power and grace. This image is featured in the exhibition “Women a Century of Change” at the National Geographic Museum.

Photo by @amivitale | Veterinarians wait for a lion to wake up from its sedation after being flown to Mozambique from South Africa and then driven to an enclosure. Twenty-four lions were moved in what was the largest conservation transport of wild lions across an international boundary in history. Decades of civil war and poaching had all but decimated the animals in this area, and careful management had brought back nearly all the other indigenous species—with the exception of these apex predators. So far all are thriving, and already over 30 cubs have been born since December. I covered this historic undertaking for my recent @natgeo story.

Photo by @gabrielegalimbertiphoto | Niko, 5, Homer, Alaska. Take a moment and think back to your childhood, the era in your life when the only thing you knew about a bill was that it was a bird’s equivalent of lips, and your day job was to construct fantastical worlds with your favorite toys. In my Toy Stories series, I explore the connection between children and their toys, getting an insight into their tiny worlds and taking you on a trip down memory lane. Toy Stories is the result of a 30-month trip, in which I visited more than 50 countries and took photographs of children and their favorite toys. I would often take part in a child’s games prior to arranging the toys for the photograph. Despite some differences, I found more similarities among children living worlds apart. Even in different countries, toys had the same function, such as protecting them from dangers and things they feared in the night. Toys haven’t changed all that much since I was a kid. I’d often find the kind of toys I used to have. It was nice to go back to my childhood somehow. | Follow me @gabrielegalimbertiphoto for more photos and stories #toys #play #kids #child #children

Photo by @stevewinterphoto | Gir and his brother Forest were discarded from Jeff Lowe’s Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park when they grew too big for tourists to pet and take selfies with. They are li-ligers—created by crossing a lion and a tiger, then breeding that liger back to a lion. This never happens in nature. Both cubs have serious health problems caused by both crossbreeding and by poor nutrition: cubs that are handled by the public are usually taken from their mothers as newborns and fed poorly. Gir and Forest were rescued by Tiger Haven Sanctuary in Tennessee. This photo appears in our December #natgeomagazine, story on captive tigers in the US. #tigers

Photo by @simonnorfolkstudio I An outtake from a story about new archaeology in Jerusalem for the December issue of the magazine. Fallen columns and collapsed walls—the remains of a magnificent complex of Islamic buildings, destroyed in the earthquake of 749 C.E.—lie scattered just outside the corner of the Al Aqsa Compound in the Old City of Jerusalem. The complex was apparently constructed during the reign of the Umayyad caliph El-Walid I (705-715 C.E.) and is similar to other fortified Umayyad palaces on the fringe of the desert in historic Transjordan and Syria. But unlike those, the palace in Jerusalem–a fortified city–was not protected by towers. The Umayyad’s capital was in Damascus, but it was not realized that great importance was attached to Jerusalem, and that important religious and governmental buildings were built there.

Photo by @renan_ozturk | A feat of physical and mental strength among the Fisher Towers of Utah. Highline slacklining is as much an installation art form—to rig safely and without affecting the fragile landscape—as it is a sport and a lifelong practice to walk. What an honor to see Heather Larsen complete this one with style a few weeks' back. See @renan_ozturk and team for more from this moment. #slacklife #utah
