A sloth hangs from a tree branch at the Sloth Sanctuary and Rescue Shelter in Cahuita, Limon Province, Costa Rica, on March 10, 2023. The fur of the Costa Rican sloth can produce antibiotics that keep at bay pathogens tha could make the tropical animal sick. Now, scientists wonder whether they could apply this to humans. Max Chavarria, a researcher at the University of Costa Rica, found in the notoriously lazy mammals' fur a unique mix of insects, fungi, algae and bacteria creating a delicately balanced biome that keeps sickness away.

Hippos – descendants from a small herd introduced by drug kingpin Pablo Escobar – are seen in the wild in a lake near the Hacienda Napoles theme park, once the private zoo of Escobar, in Doradal, Antioquia Department, Colombia, on April 19, 2023. Colombia is making progress on the transfer of 70 hippos to overseas sanctuaries in Mexico and India, but mitigating the havoc caused by this unusual legacy of deceased drug lord Pablo Escobar carries a hefty price tag: $3.5 million. The cocaine baron brought a small number of the African beasts to Colombia in the late 1980s, but after his death in 1993 the animals were left to roam freely in a hot, marshy area of Antioquia department.
