This puzzle is based on baby animals born in zoos (or, in the case of the manatee, rescued by zoos very shortly after birth). The photos depict stuffed animals of the same species, the maps are (slightly photoshopped) maps of the zoos in question, and the dates are the months in which the birth occured.

Notice that the Zoos are alphabetized by zoo name, and the dates are sorted chronologically, but the photos are in no clear order. This suggests, correctly, that you should sort the second and third column to match the first. Then index into the name of the baby animal by the numbber after the date. The result is:
