Inspired by both passions, perhaps, his curiosity was piqued by the fawn and rabbit skeletons he would often find perched on the branches of ironwood trees outside his home in the desert near Tucson, Arizona. “Once I discovered that these trees are social centers of gray fox activity, I got hooked on observing these animals and learning their biology,” he says....

Chris Hemsworth’s Thor has had among the toughest MCU journeys, not just in terms of the trials, tribulations, and losses he has faced on-screen, but also in terms of behind-the-scenes struggles. After two moderately to horrifically received Shakespearean Thor tales under Kenneth Branagh and Alan Taylor, Taika Waititi took the helm for Ragnarok and brought with him a unique sense of style, flair, and humor. As part of that transformation, fans were introduced to the Kronan rock monster Korg - who was voiced by Taika Waititi himself - and the insect-like warrior Miek....
