Week in wildlife in pictures: a newborn turtle, a tiny frog and a rare tiger

A green sea turtle hatchling attempts to find its way to the ocean on Heron Island, Australia. Each year between November and March, green sea turtles emerge from the ocean to lay hundreds of eggs each on the coastline of Heron Island, before returning to the ocean. The hatchlings emerge about six weeks later and then have to survive a series of predators ranging from seagulls to reef sharks, with an estimated survival rate of one in 1,000

Beary the bear, who took up residence under a house in Altadena, California, during the wildfires. The home’s occupant, Samy Abrid, had to evacuate for the Eaton fire and when he returned home there was a different kind of challenge: a 240kg (525lb) black bear. It had moved into the crawl space under the house before the fire and was still there. The California fire department stepped in to lure the bear out with treats after deciding it was too big to tranquillise. The bear’s new home is the much more appropriate Angeles national forest
