Our planetary neighbors are so different and so funny animals. They live side by side with us, helping and giving their love. Plants and animals are inextricably linked with man, forming a single chain with him. Take away one link from it, and harmony will be destroyed. Often animals are called "smaller brothers." No matter how strong some of the representatives of the animal kingdom are, they still need the protection of Homo sapiens.

The Reuters international news agency selects the best animal photos every year. These pictures are intended to remind humanity that each of the “weak links” in the fragile kingdom of animals needs our protection.
