Serbian paratroopers descend to the ground holding Serbian and Russian (L) national flags during a training exercise in the village of Nikinci, west from Belgrade, November 14, 2014. Russian soldiers parachuted into open fields in western Serbia on Friday as part of an unprecedented joint military drill that has stirred controversy in the European Union candidate-country given the West-Russia standoff over Ukraine.

A one-week-old female baby Sumatran elephant is seen next to her mother, Siska, at the private Taman Safari zoo in Pasuruan in eastern Java island on November 14, 2014. The baby, born on November 6, was succesfully bred in captivity as part of conservation efforts for the critically-endangered Sumatran elephant. There are fewer than 3,000 Sumatran elephants remaining in the wild, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. According to conservationists rampant expansion of palm oil, paper plantations, and mines, has destroyed nearly 70 percent of the Sumatran elephant's forest habitat over 25 years and the animals remain a target of poaching.
