Clinging to a New Home
A brown-throated sloth clings to a barbed wire fence post in El Tanque, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica, in this image from our photography archives. As their habitats become increasingly fragmented, these slow and discreet mammals are forced more and more often to cross open ground and roads to survive. After this one caused a traffic jam while crossing a busy road, photographer Emmanuel Tardy followed it. "The moment is etched in my memory," he says, "watching this sloth moving slowly across land that was no longer truly its own."Limitless with Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth takes on three epic challenges to explore science-backed ways to improve our health. He learns to drum for a brain-boosting, surprise stadium gig, climbs a frozen 600-foot wall to explore the benefits of breaking out of our comfort zones, and embraces brutal Special Forces pain training in South Korea—all to discover how we can live longer, better lives.
