What's going on, coyote pack?

Right now, we're in Costa Rica, filming

episodes at a location called Kids Saving the Rainforest.

And today, I met an animal that I absolutely

must introduce you to.

Get ready to meet the most adorable animal in the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, say hello to B-rad.

This creature is just unbelievably adorable.

That's a hat.

Oh, goodness.

Selfie with the sloth.

Hi.

Now B-rad is a baby three-toed sloth.

Yeah, you want to give me a high three?

High three! There you go.

Now what's really interesting about these creatures

is they're called three-toed slots,

but actually the front feet are the fingers.

Now they use these three claws to help them

climb around in the treetops.

This is an arboreal species.

He looks like a little yeti.

That's a hat.

You probably have never seen a cowboy hat before.

He's like, "Hmm, maybe I should climb up here?"

But I don't think we're going to let

you go up there, little buddy.

Why don't you stay down here on your stuffed sloth?

Is that a sloth teddy bear?

Yeah, this is a stuffed sloth--

a plush sloth and a real sloth.

I love the gray and whitish coloration of the fur

and that very distinct raccoon-looking mask

on the face.

And you know what I love about the hair of a sloth?

It all, kind of, grows from the sides backwards.

And that's so that when they're hanging upside

down from tree limbs, if it rains,

the water runs right off of them.

You see that?

It's like it all grows up towards the spine

instead of the spine down.

Now B-rad is smaller than most baby sloths.

And the staff here at the sanctuary

believes that he may have been malnourished when

he was out there in the wild.

And it could be part of the reason

that he fell out of a tree.

Fortunately, he was brought here to the sanctuary,

and they're going to provide him with all the nourishment

that he needs so he can grow bigger and stronger

and eventually be released back out into the wild.

Now baby sloths make a really interesting noise.

And B-rad's not making it.

But they do go ...

I'm talking to you.

I can speak sloth.

Yeah.

That right there is a cecropia leaf.

Let's see if B-rad is hungry.

Oh, he's going for it.

Oh, goodness.

Do you see that?

I don't know what's cuter--

the baby cloth itself or the baby sloth eating a leaf.

Now sloths have a very specific diet.

As you can imagine, being up in the treetop canopy,

they're consuming leaves--

mainly leaves.

These are cecropia leaves right here.

And the sloth has a very slow digestive system.

All of that plant matter builds up in their digestive tract.

And every seven days, they climb down from the treetops

to the forest floor, find a nice little spot,

dig a hole with their tail.

Yeah, the tail, this little tiny nubbin that, kind of, looks

like a shovel.

They dig a hole, they do their business,

and then, as long as a predator doesn't catch and eat it,

the sloth climbs back up its tree,

goes about its business eating leaves,

and waits another seven days before it

makes its next number two.

B-rad, is it almost time for you to go number two?

He's like, "Don't bug me.

I'm eating my salad."

B-rad, I'm going to just--

Save that for later.

You know what?

I think I could spend my entire afternoon

hanging out with a sloth--

just you and me, B-rad.

We could go on a little walks together.

I bet you'd fit in my pocket.

I don't think they want me to put you in my pocket.

But you would look really cute in my front shirt pocket.

You like that?

You like that idea?

I think he's signing to me right now.

He's saying, "Man, I'd love to hang out."

You could come on adventures.

You can meet the crew.

You can meet Mario.

You could meet Mark.

We could all be buddies.

What do you think?

Now, here at the sanctuary, they oftentimes

have sloths come in almost on a daily basis,

especially during the time of year when

baby sloths are being born.

And it is sad that sometimes these babies fall out

of the tree and a lot of times they

become victim to predators.

But every once in a while you have a human that

comes along and finds the sloth first,

and then it ends up here at a place

like Kids Saving the Rainforest, where

they can be rehabilitated, taken care of,

given lots of love and nourishment,

and eventually released back out into the wild.

And that eventually will be the story for B-rad--

another incredible success story here at Kids

Saving the Rainforest.

And in just probably a few months,

you will be back out there in the rainforest

living the sloth life.

Well, how cool was this, spending

just a few moments getting up close with B-rad,

the adorable three-toed sloth?

I'm Coyote Peterson.

Be brave, stay wild.

We'll see you on the next location.

Oh, look at that yawn.

Who's ready for a nap?

OK, are you ready?

Let's go.

We are about to get into an enclosure

with the Common Marmoset.

All right, I'll go first.

You can't see them.

They're hiding in the leaves.

No sudden movements.

Oh, Mark, it's on your leg.

Today the crew and I are visiting

a wildlife sanctuary called Kids Saving the Rainforest.

This location is home to many rescued animals

that are being rehabilitated so that they can ultimately

be released back into the wild.

However, there is one resident species that

cannot be released because it's native

to the jungles of Brazil.

But that wasn't going to stop me or the crew

from getting the cameras up close.

Get ready to meet the marmoset.

Oh, I see one.

And we are locked in.

There they are.

That's the common marmoset, one of the smallest new world

monkey species in the world.

Hello there.

How are you?

Only thing smaller than this is the Pygmy Marmoset.

The goal here is going to have them

get comfortable enough to actually walk on my shoulders

and on my hands.

And, hopefully, I'm not bitten because they have a very

impressive set of chompers.

The mouth almost looks like the mouth of the piranha.

Their teeth are all sprawled out everywhere.

And the teeth are--

Oh, here we go.

Got one coming right here.

The teeth are very important for this monkey

because they actually use it.

They're very specialized.

They can dig into the bark of trees.

And one of their favorite things to eat is tree sap.

They love sweets.

There you are.

Watch this.

I'm going to bring out the marshmallows, OK?

This is the secret treat?

This is the secret treat.

And I'm going to just, to start, put my thumb out on this branch

here and see if one will come close.

Do you have a call that you use for these?

Or--

Yeah, I do.

Watch this.

Little marmoset, I got your marshmallows.

Where did they go?

I don't know.

It's a little eerie in here knowing that they're

hiding somewhere in the leaves.

Hello.

There's one, down there.

Nope, there's one right there by my foot.

Look at that.

What a stealth.

Didn't even see it.

OK, look at this.

Watch, watch, watch.

Look at this.

Oh, here he comes.

Up here.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Good trust-- just building trust right now.

Ooh!

Oh, I felt those teeth.

Those teeth are definitely sharp.

Look at that. OK.

Hi, how are you?

That is a Marmoset.

OK, let me see if I can, kind of, crouch down.

Oh.

Mark, it's on your leg.

I see that.

You've got a marmoset on you.

Oh, he likes the camera.

How about this camera?

Why don't you focus on this camera?

And this is what it looks like when

the cameramen get closer to the animals than the host does.

Hey, buddy.

No sudden movements.

Here, let me see if I can get him onto my hand here.

Hey, here we go. - Oh, there we go.

There we go. There we go.

OK.

Now it is on my shoulder.

Oh boy, this is close.

OK, just a little tiny piece.

Mmm, marshmallow.

OK,

Yum yum.

Here we go.

That's the good stuff, huh?

Wow, look at those front feet.

The dexterity in those fingers and those wrists is incredible.

Now, that makes them a little more primitive

than some new world monkey species,

is the fact that they have claws and not fingernails.

And look at the tufts on the side of the head.

I see you.

Can you hang out for just--

Oh, there you are, up on my shoulder.

I love those tufts.

You know what it makes them look like?

Gizmo, from the movie "Gremlins."

As long as we don't feed you after midnight,

hopefully, you won't turn into a gremlin.

Look at that.

Wouldn't it be awesome to just have one of these

on your shoulder all the time?

You can see because they're so cute,

they're oftentimes found in the pet trade.

Unfortunately, though, this does not make a good pet.

Hi.

At one point in time, these marmosets were found roaming

in the nearby rainforest.

And because they are a non-native species,

specialists safely captured and brought them to the sanctuary

where they will live a happy and healthy life.

It is necessary for us to stay within the confines

of their enclosure to ensure that they don't escape back

into the wild, where they would compete

with the native wildlife.

This is an arboreal species.

And they are found high up in the trees

where they are searching for their favorite food

of berries and seeds.

But, like I said, they do specialize in eating tree sap.

That is one grippy little tongue.

Look at that face.

Is the tongue rough or smooth?

It's rough just like a cat's tongue.

And you can see why they would need a rough tongue,

to be able to lick up sap.

It's a long tongue that this guy's got.

They have long tails-- They do.

- for their body.

Now that tail is not prehensile,

which a lot of new world monkeys have a prehensile tail, which

allows them to use it almost like a fifth hand

where they can hang upside down from a tree branch.

The tail of the marmoset is just used

for balance when they're running around in the tree branches.

And they don't even run.

It's more, kind of, like this bouncing stride.

Almost like a kangaroo rat.

Yeah, where did my friend go?

Here we go.

Hmm, look at that.

Hi, how are you?

Two little, tiny shoulder buddies.

OK, I feel much more comfortable with the marmoset

than I did the squirrel monkeys.

Oh, oh, oh!

I'm sorry.

Hi there.

Oh, you found my pocket.

I see that.

Well, how cool is this, spending our afternoon hanging

out with the Common Marmoset?

I'm Coyote Peterson.

Be brave.

Stay wild.

We'll see you on the next location.

All right, we're going to just set you down.

I'm going to just give you a little bit of privacy here.

I'll be right over here, Patty.

OK, don't fall over.

I can see your little butt twitching.

All right, nobody talk.

This is the moment we've all been waiting for.

Oh, she's doing her move. Oh--

Or she's falling backwards.

That's a poo tumble.

OK, what's going on guys?

So I'm here today at Kids Saving the Rainforest with Dani.

Dani is a sloth mom.

Look at you.

You even have an outfit that matches a sloth--

- which is pretty cool.

Did you do that intentionally or is just coincidental today?

It must be subconscious.

OK, and who are we looking at here?

This is Patty.

Patty-- and Patty is a two-toed sloth, right?

That's right.

She's cute.

Good evening.

And we're out here for a very specific purpose

today, aren't we?

What are we doing with Patty?

Well, it's time for Patty's daily poop.

Oh, a daily poop!

I know

Everybody does it.

Yeah, everybody poops.

I pooped twice today.

Oh, I see it on your face.

You've got a big steamer in there, don't you?

All right, so how do we go about pooping a sloth?

OK, well, we want to put her down in the grass

so she can make contact with her butt with the grass

so she can feel that underneath her.

Right, OK.

OK.

And then, she's going to do a little dance.

Oh?

A pre-poop dance? - Yes, she's going to--

The Poo Shuffle?

She's going to twerk a little bit.

All right.

And she's going to let it go.

You just want to make sure she stays like balanced--

Balanced, OK.

- on that penguin because it's sort

of replacing the tree trunk.

So is she going to poop off the back of the penguin?

- Yes. - Oh, great.

Oh, she stays on the penguin while she poops?

Yes.

Really?

It's sort of like holding onto a tree.

Oh wow.

So she's holding onto this surrogate mom instead.

Wow, OK.

You know, every once in a while,

you need a little comfort when you poop.

I hold a stuffed animal when I poop.

All right, we're going to just set you down.

And you said just, kind of, spread her legs

out a little bit, right? Mm-hmm.

OK, there your go.

I'm going to just give you a little bit of privacy here.

I'll be right over here, Patty.

OK, don't fall over.

And this is the part where we sit and wait.

Oh, she's doing her move. Oh!

Or she's falling backwards.

That's a poo tumble.

Yeah, sometimes they need a little stabilizing--

A little stabilizing.

With just, like, a little hand on the back.

Oh, she's getting ready.

Oh boy, look at that move.

You're right she's kind of giving a little butt shake.

A little mini twerk. - Oh!

She's like, "You're making me wait."

Look at that.

Wait for it.

I can see your little butt twitching.

All right, nobody talk.

This is the moment we've all been waiting for.

She's concentrating.

Oh my goodness, you're going to get a big poop.

Look at this.

There it is.

Whoa!

Ew, that is one gross-looking poop, Patty.

But good job.

You got it all out, little buddy.

She did so good.

You did so good.

All right, well, I think that's about it.

I'm going to pick you up and hand you back to Dani.

There's your sloth.

She had a nice successful--

Let's take a look at that. - poop.

Look at that poop. Where is it?

That is sloth poop right there.

Yech! Don't touch it.

I'm going to try not to.

Not what it's supposed to look like Dani just said.

Yeah.

So, Dani, what do we think?

Like, is-- Do you think she's got a little bellyache

or something like that?

Yeah, definitely some digestive issue happening.

OK, so-- And that's something that you guys research and take

note of when it comes to, you know, the rehabilitation

process, right?

Yes, we do.

OK, gotcha.

All right, well, it looks like we're

pretty much done here then. Hold on.

Does it smell? - What?

Does it smell? Nathaniel, get down there.

Of course it smells.

Get down there close.

Ugh.

Yeah, it's like decomposing plant matter for the most part.

All right, well--

OK, well, that was pretty successful, right?

Yeah.

We learned something there. I would agree.

That's how a sloth poops.

One more thing. - What's that?

You have one more job to do. Oh!

Poop bag, right?

Nope, that's a poop glove.

Oh, that's a glove.

We have to collect the poop.

Dani's got to do this, right?

No, you're going to do it.

Oh, I'm doing this today?

You poop the sloth, you collect the poop.

Yeah, all right.

Oh, boy.

This doesn't feel like a very good glove.

Are you sure?

Oh boy, OK.

Oy!

Ugh!

Don't lose any.

We need all that. - Yeah.

I got some little nuggets and a little bit of squirt there.

OK.

Oh, you got a plastic bag?

You want to put the glove in there

too or just topple those poos in?

Just topple it in.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ugh, that was worse than it coming

out of the sloth's booty.

Ugh!

Oh, no, don't get it on my hand.

Oh God.

OK, well, what do you want me to do?

Put this in my pocket or your pocket?

Or--

No, you're taking it to the vet.

I'm taking it to the vet? OK.

OK.

All right, well then, in that case,

I'll just put this in my pocket here.

We don't want to confuse that with my snacks.

All right, well, this was pretty cool.

Dani, thank you so much for letting me poop Patty.

Patty, thank you for the wonderful turd delight

in my pocket.

I hope that your tummy feels better.

And, Dani, thank you so much for that unforgettable experience,

I guess.

I'm Coyote Peterson.

Be brave.

Stay wild.

We'll see you on the next location.

All right, let's get this poop down to the lab.

Dani to the clinic, Coyote Peterson's

on the way with a special delivery.

Hello?

Oh, looks like nobody's here.

OK, well, there we go.

I'm just going to leave a message.

I'm Coyote Peterson and today we're

featuring the cutest guests that I think we've

ever had on "Breaking Trail."

Get ready to meet the baby River Otter.

Look at how cute that baby otter is.

Now, otters, as we know, are related to skunks,

weasels, wolverines, and mink.

And he actually really looks a lot like a mink,

especially with his coat.

Now they are aquatic predators.

And when I touch his fur--

come here, little guy.

Come here.

Hey, hey, can you-- can you hang out for a second

while we get these lines?

Just for a second.

And then we can go explore?

Let me see that bottle of milk.

Let's see if he's hungry.

Come here.

Come here.

Now, this baby river otter was recently orphaned.

And the wildlife sanctuary that we're working with right

now has taken him in and is tending to him.

Hopefully, he will be able to be released back into the wild.

But if not, he's going to have a very comfortable

life here at the sanctuary.

Now, they are opportunistic feeders.

A little one like this would be drinking milk.

But he gets bigger, he's going to want to be

eating fish, snakes, frogs--

anything that can find its way into that mouth is fair game.

Oh, still thirsty?

Want some more?

There you go.

And you'll notice how streamlined

this animal's body is.

They're incredibly cumbersome on land.

But as soon as they get into the water,

they are lightning quick.

Now I've had a lot of people write in and say,

"Coyote, can you do an episode with an otter?"

And I didn't think it would be possible

because catching one in the wild is, well, almost impossible.

But we are so fortunate to have this little otter

with us today.

So, hopefully, you guys are enjoying getting up close

with the baby River Otter.

Oh, you just splashed milk right into my eye.

Hey, you want some more?

You're done?

I think he's done.

He wants to go play in the creek at this point.

You got milk on your nose?

Let me see.

OK.

I know, buddy.

I know.

How cute is this little otter?

What's the otter's name?

Little Orphan Otter.

Little Orphan Otter?

You haven't given it a proper name?

No, that is his proper name.

His first name is Little, his middle name is Orphan,

his last name is Otter.

Baby-- I thought it was Baby Otter.

Well, he's just Baby Otter because he's still a baby.

Even when he grows up, he's going

to be Little Orphan Otter.

All right, well, you've had your bottle of milk.

Are you ready to go splash around in the creek?

I think he's ready.

You lead the way!

Exercise is an important part of this baby

otter's daily routine.

So taking a trek down to the creek for a quick splash

goes a long way for his rehabilitation

back into the wild.

Oh, there you go.

He's like, "I didn't realize that the water was here."

He's getting his feet wet.

Here he goes.

And he's off, right in his natural environment.

Look at that.

See that tail going.

Now you look like a little otter, don't you?

Yeah.

All right.

Well, he splashed around in the water for a little bit.

But--

- now we get a little dry off and he's talking to me.

Was that fun?

Was that fun playing around in the water?

Yeah, oh, you-- There you go.

Oh, look at that.

He's scratching his belly.

Look at him scratching his belly.

I think I formed a pretty good friendship with this otter

at this point.

Are you having a good day?

A couple bottles of milk, a splash around in the creek,

now it looks like you're getting ready for your nap,

curling up in a ball, scratching your face on the grass.

It's a tough life being an otter, you know.

You stink, you know that?

You stink.

You absolutely stink.

But I still love you.

Here's a little butt scratch for you.

Oh, that feels good, doesn't it?

Whoa, that's the spot, isn't it?

Yeah, he loves that.

And that feels good, huh?

Yeah, all right, I think he's getting kind of tired.

And at this point, he's ready for his nap.

He has had a big bottle of milk and a good splash

down in the creek.

So we're going to get him inside so that he can have his rest.

I'm Coyote Peterson.

Be brave.

Stay wild.

We'll see you on the next adventure.
