樹懶擁有可愛又濕軟的面容以及懶洋洋的動作,他們可是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上最讓人覺得萌到不可自拔的動物之一了??杀氖牵谥心厦乐薜脑忌种校@種行動遲緩的樹上居民也面臨著日益增長的威脅。

野生動物保護(hù)主義者兼攝影師薩姆·特魯爾被他們的可愛以及自己想要扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤的強(qiáng)烈愿望所激勵,決定把事業(yè)奉獻(xiàn)于拯救這些迷人的動物上。
Trull was first introduced to the wonderful world of sloths in 2013 after arriving in Costa Rica to work for a small wildlife rehabilitation clinic called Kids Saving the Rainforest. It wasn't long before she realized that working with orphaned sloths was her true calling.
