Sam Trull has been working with animals since she was a teenager. In 2014, she realized her passion for sloths and co-founded The Sloth Institute in Costa Rica.

Last year, she released her first book, "SlothLove," filled with adorable photographs and stories of the orphaned and abandoned sloths she has helped nurture back to health and release into the wild.

Below, Sam has shared a preview of some of the cute creatures featured in her book, as well as an inside look at her sloth orphanage.

The Sloth Institute focuses on sloth research, conservation and rehabilitation. Sam and her team of volunteers take care of abandoned babies with the ultimate goal of releasing them back into the wild.
