"Our cycles are in sync": Sloth pooping edition 🦥 Sloths defecating once a week at the base of trees was already strange, but then we discovered they also do it in river waters. And now, one of the weirdest records yet: two sloths synchronized (!!). So many questions! Amazing footage from @puertoviejotours_cr, a local agency that offers tours in the Caribbean of Costa Rica! | The Sloth Conservation Foundation

Sloths are slow in everything they do, including digestion—it can take them up to 30 days to process a single leaf. When it's time to defecate, they come down to the ground, a rare and vulnerable moment. For the Great Sloth Census, we’re using a specially trained sloth scat detection dog to locate these elusive poop piles to estimate sloth populations. | The Sloth Conservation Foundation
