Video Script:: 

[Music] you're on the forest floor in Costa Rica and this is a young female three-fingered sloth [Music] after her weekly toilet visit to the ground she's on her way back up to the canopy and you may have to look around to find her as she does so [Music] she's expertly and slowly climbing the tree on the lookout for food and leaves her favorite thing to eat but she has particular test sloths prefer to eat the freshest greenest leaves the leaves are usually found right on the end of the highest branches now she's on a CicLAvia tree one of her favorites but there seems to be a problem and if you look closely on the tree trunk you'll see hundreds of Aztecas ants they protect the tree almost like tiny security guards the sloths presence has not gone unnoticed and dozens of ants have climbed aboard but they won't harm her in fact she may not even notice with no leaves taking their fancy it's time to change trees now where to go from here she needs to find a strong looking branch a risky business when you're six meters of the ground [Music] a fall from this height could be fatal [Music] luckily this time the branch was just about strong enough less than a year old she still has a bit to learn about climbing maybe this branch is a bit sturdier [Music] No maybe she's just a thrill seeker [Music] after all that excitement it's probably time to find some delicious leaves here we go this looks more like it holding on by just her back legs she delicately sniffs the leaves to find the perfect snack [Music] sloths styles consist almost entirely of leaves which their slow paced metabolism might take weeks to digest [Music] [Music] she's had enough and I shall do what sloths to best find a safe place and sleep [Music] the first she still has a few hands to get rid of [Music] a thick fur means ants are much of a problem and scratching is also a sign of sloth contentment there we are a nice comfy place to rest I think we better leave it to it you [Music]
