January February, the year begins

n January, in the Arctic, a polar bear wanders alone, at the mercy of the elements. As the polar winds cool the Northern Hemisphere, creatures choose to escape the cold, such as manatees, which congregate by the hundreds in the warm waters of Florida. On the snow-capped peaks of Japan, a group of macaques bask in the hot springs. The Chinese New Year marks the world's largest human migration in February, with millions of people traveling to reunite with their loved ones. Equatorial Africa is in the throes of the flood: the heaviest rains of the year transform the landscapes and the life they shelter. While hippos in Zambia are calving, birds of prey seek their sustenance in the furnace of the Australian desert. Not far from the bustle of life in the Amazon rainforest, the Rio carnival closes the first two months of the year in style.
