The Sleeping World: Rainforest Lounging with a Sloth

Wind down by escaping into nature. Part soundscape and part bedtime story,The Sleeping Worldis an intimate journey through ecologies around the world.Sloths are the slowest mammals on earth. They can hardly see. They live in rainforests among jaguars, pumas, and countless other predators. Yet they survive. And they do it by being so incredibly slow, and living a life covered in algae. In this episode, we hang with a sloth in the jungle of Costa Rica as he spends a month digesting one single leaf, and we see the symbiosis and collaboration that surrounds him.This is the world in its natural state, defined by seasons, routines, and cycles. By the time this sloth has traversed his tree and resumed his life of rest, you’ll be ready to rest too.Produced byAudible and Mumble MediaWritten byJake YoungNarrated byCynthia KimolaExecutive Producers for Mumble Media:Cara Ehlenfeldt and Jake YoungExecutive Producer for Audible:Anna StittSound Design and Mix:Mumble MediaThe Mumble Media teamis Jaymeson Catsouphes, Cara Ehlenfeldt, Chester Gwazda, Liz Mak, Lee Mengistu, Renée Vargas, and Jake YoungSloth Consultant:Julián Monge-NájeraFact-Checker:Andrea López-CruzadoHead of Creative Development at Audible:Kate NavinChief Content Officer at Audible:Rachel GhiazzaAvailable in Dolby Atmos on Audible.Read more
