Grasslands are vast ecosystems that support biodiversity, provide critical support to global food systems, and play a major role in mitigating climate change. When grasslands like the Great Plains in the U.S. are lost or degraded, we lose benefits to humans and wildlife: wwf.to/3Q0I6zS

Watch this sloth slowly cross the forest path. Sloths move slowly because of their extremely low metabolic rate. Found in the tropical forests of Central and South America, these tree dwellers move through the canopy at a rate of about 40 yards per day.

Here’s a delightfully odd capybara fact for you: they eat their own poop! While it may sound strange, digesting their food a second time helps them absorb nutrients that weren’t fully absorbed the first time. You could call this nature’s ultimate recycling program.

For humpback whales, love is a high-speed chase. Male whales gather in competitive groups, vying for the attention of a female humpback who leads the way. This harsh contest is a key part of a humpback’s annual cycle between their tropical breeding and polar feeding grounds, and back again.
