In this picture taken on 12 October 2019, a worker holds a baby of an Asian giant tortoise at the Turtle Conservation Centre at a forest reserve in Rajendrapur, some 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of capital Dhaka. The newly hatched tortoises take their first steps in a small box, their feet barely visible under bony shells. These little giants -- among 41 babies born to several Asian Forest Tortoises brought together at a conservation park in Bangladesh -- carry the weight of their species on their backs. Photo: AFP
