Lucy Cooke

National Geographic explorer, BBC natural history presenter (Talk to the Animals) and author of the best-selling Power of Sloth, Lucy Cooke returns to Port Eliot with her popular Sloth Appreciation Society lecture. In this humorous but informative talk Lucy shares the secrets of the sloth’s eccentric biology. Being named ofter one of the 7 deadly sins has been a PR disaster for this dozy folivore but far from being lazy and stupid, sloth is in fact a winning strategy in the evolutionary arms. Lucy argues that being fast is over-rated and as busy bipedal apes we have much to learn from the somnolent true king of the jungle. Watch Lucy’s sloth propaganda show, supported by her absurdly cute sloth photos and viral videos, and you’ll never feel guilty about napping again.
