In this close-up photo from out photography archives—captured with the help of a remote-controlled robot—spotted hyenas are seen arriving at the edge of a pond to drink at Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. The predators thrive in a range of habitats, from deserts to forests to cities. The animals hunt day or night and eat almost anything—two of the many reasons they are Africa's most successful large predators.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.
