Dr. Rebecca Cliffe joins us to challenge myths about sloths like the popular perception of them as lazy creatures: moving slowly is a survival strategy that has been so successful in fact that sloths are some of the oldest mammals on our planet. But Dr. Cliffe also warns of a "sloth crisis" driven by deforestation, roadbuilding, and irresponsible tourism including "sloth selfies," and what you can do to help protect sloths.
