Kumbuka, a 15-year-old western lowland gorilla, explores his new enclosure in the ZSL London Zoo, on May 2, 2013. The silverback male, who weights 407 pounds and stands seven foot tall, moved from Paignton Zoo two weeks ago. It is hoped that Kumbuka will mate with the zoo’s three female gorillas to increase numbers of the critically endangered species as part of the European breeding program.

Panjin Red Beach

The Red Beach is located in the Liaohe River Delta, about 30 kilometer southwest of Panjin City in China. The beach gets its name from its appearance, which is caused by a type of sea weed that flourishes in the saline-alkali soil.
