Typhoons, a skeletal mammoth and iron claws all feature in this month's rather scary image collection. And to satisfy those gentler readers, we've also included some colourful flamingos, particle-physics art and a bonsai tree drifting on the edge of space. Please enjoy.

Lyuba's skeletonThe baby mammoth Lyuba was probably just one or two months old when it perished in what is now Siberia more than 40,000 years ago. Now, Daniel Fisher, a palaeontologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and his colleagues have used a computed-tomography scanner to produce this haunting animation of the mummified animal.
