THE COVER US photographer Suzi Eszterhas took this image of a Hoffman’s two-fingered sloth mother and baby after they were released from a rescue centre. “They were very calm with people, so I was able to get this eye-level shot of them, content to be back in the forest home” she says. Suzi used a Canon EOS-1D X, 70-200mm, 1/30th sec at f6.3, ISO3200.
