Diprotodon Tracks, Australia

Photograph by Amy Toensing, National Geographic

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
On a drying lake bed in Victoria, a farmer in 2007 alerted scientists to a major find: well-preserved tracks of a Diprotodon. The slow-moving behemoth had been crossing a volcanic plain 100,000 years ago, when megafauna still walked tall.

Street Scene, Kolkata

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
Its steaming streets crammed with vendors, pedestrians, and iconic Ambassador taxis, Kolkata throbs with some 16 million people—and more pour in every day from small towns. In 1975 only three cities worldwide topped ten million. Today 21 such mega cities exist, most in developing countries, where urban areas absorb much of the globe's rising population.

Women, Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan

Photograph by Lynsey Addario, National Geographic

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
“I saw two women on the side of the mountain, in burkas and without a man,” wrote photographer Lynsey Addario. “In Afghanistan you seldom see an unaccompanied woman. Noor Nisa, about 18, was pregnant; her water had just broken. Her husband, whose first wife had died during childbirth, was determined to get Noor Nisa to the hospital in Faizabad, a four-hour drive from their village in Badakhshan Province. His borrowed car broke down, so he went to find another vehicle. I ended up taking Noor Nisa, her mother, and her husband to the hospital, where she delivered a baby girl. My interpreter, who is a doctor, and I were on a mission to photograph maternal health and mortality issues, only to find the entire story waiting for us along a dusty Afghan road.”

High heels and high hopes have become vogue among teenage girls at Timbuktu's lone high school. A rise in female pupils, aided by scholarships, marks a national effort to cut Mali's 74 percent illiteracy rate.

Notre Dame, Paris

Photograph by Stephen Alvarez, National Geographic

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
Sparks fly from a performance in front of Notre Dame, on the île de la Cité. Some of the 12th-century cathedral's limestone blocks came from quarries on the Left Bank. "The history of the quarries is a history of the city," says archaeologist Marc Viré.

Japanese Macaques, Nagano

This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos
Japanese macaques, also known as snow monkeys, stay warm in the winter by bathing in the natural hot springs at Nagano. The parents go to great lengths to protect their young. I saw this scene of two monkeys relaxing with a curious infant and captured the moment.

Pig, Malawi

Photograph by Tara McKay, My Shot

This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Photos
The northern part of Malawi is known for the beauty of Nyika National Park. Less well documented but equally as stunning are the small villages of Henga Valley. While having lunch at the house of a villager in May 2010, I went on a tour of his pig stables. Six of his sows had recently given birth. He had not been at home when they did, however, and feral dogs killed several of the newborn piglets.
