Dolphin Hug
Another incredible image of humans trying to help wildlife comes from Colombia, where a biologist cradles an Amazon river dolphin. Direct contact calms the dolphins in stressful situations, and the dolphins have faced no shortage of them. The team was transporting the dolphin to a veterinary facility to put a GPS tag in its fin, part of a larger project to understand where the dolphins live and their migratory patterns. The animal is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List due to fishing gear entanglements and pollution.
