Bernard Ishnook, from left, Steven Guinness Jr., 14, and Ben Stevens discuss how to pack out a two-year-old moose killed by the Stevens' family hunting party on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, near Stevens Village, Alaska. For the first time in memory, both king and chum salmon have dwindled to almost nothing and the state has banned salmon fishing on the Yukon.

A vetereninarian weights a lion cub in a basket in Copenhagen Zoological Garden in Copenhagen, Denmark, on September 27, 2021. Veterinarians and caretakers in Copenhagen Zoological Garden chiped and determined the gender of four lion cubs. Two are females and two are males and all very healthy. Two of the lion cubs were born outdoors and had to be warmed up in the shower and with a hair dryer, while the lion mother gave birth to the last two cubs. The cubs must stay in the stable with their mother until the two-year-old pups are sent out into the world later in the year. (Photo by Ida Marie Odgaard/Ritzau Scanpix via AFP Photo)
