Sept. 3, 2013: You can see the fear and panic in these baby mountain goats' eyes as the storm clouds roll in over the Rocky Mountains. They were playing on the giant boulders 14,000 feet high on Mount Evans in Colorado while their parents grazed nearby. As the clouds approached, they rushed to find cover, jumping from boulder to boulder before heading down the mountain as fast as possible.

Sept. 5, 2013: A giant whale shark almost engulfs a daring diver as it feeds on hundreds of tiny fish while lurking below fishing boats off the West Papua coastline in Cenderawasih Bay, Indonesia. With its mouth wide open, the 26-foot-long beast drifts past at about 5 miles an hour & gobbles up all the small fish in one go. Six whale sharks emerged at the side of the photographerâ€™s boat, keen to take advantage of the easy food on offer. The animals typically pose no danger to people.

Sept. 6, 2013: Garry Beurskens rides his Esky scooter with friend Graham Galpin in Darwin, Australia, on Sept. 4. Beurskens is selling the motorised coolers, which can hit 13 mph, to those who would prefer to ride their food & drink rather than lug it to barbecues. His wife came up with the idea. â€˜We had a look around & there were a lot of electric ones, but this is better,'â€™ he said. â€˜It's got a longer range & they're more fun.' The miner said it was much easier to drive his Esky than to carry it. â€˜You can chuck what you want in there & not have to worry about how heavy it's going to be.â€™
