Airing December 17th at 8pm on Animal Planet, it is a sweet, warm, and humorous story about an unusual place: the Avarios Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica. The story (shot and produced by Lucy Cooke) follows five main sloth characters, each having different personalities and lives. The story of Judy, the sanctuary s founder, is seen through their eyes. This week s video is the trailer for the show a compilation of some unusual (and very cute) footage of sloths. Enjoy!
