Is slothology a real thing? This is an honest question with a vague and unhelpful answer. Sloths are a thing, and ologies are studies of things. So, yes? Maybe? Regardless,'slothology' was coined by the most famous pretend slothologist, Deb Dial, to bring attention to the unique needs of sloths both in their natural range and in human care. It can be easy for us to get caught up with sloth memes  & pop culture and quickly forget sloths are real animals with real needs. We hope that by connecting sloths back to science, we can continue to support sloths in situ and ex situ.
