In Her Nature: Sloth Detectives
An award-winning zoologist, her tree-climbing BFF, and their sloth-sniffing rescue dog team up in Costa Rica’s jungles for the first-ever sloth census, mixing science, adventure, and plenty of laughs to protect these creatures. The team studies at-risk sloth populations by tracking their scat and stress levels, combining forces with an all-female film crew to capture fascinating and rarely observed sloth behaviors on camera.
