For everyone who doesn't know: sloths are known for dying while pooping, because they climb down to the ground to do their No. 2. They're actually somewhat aware of the danger this imposes and thus hold on to their poop for a week or more, so that they don't have to go to the ground as often. Nobody knows why they don't just poop from the branch they hang on. Maybe it hasn't occured to them, yet, that this is a possibility.

Red guano is the fossilized, "aged", version of guano, and coprolite mining is actually a thing. If we are looking at sites with more scientific attention, again sloth is quite the culprit.

It's always interesting how living animals can help provide information about how extinct animals would have lived, even if they aren't related, just by occupying a similar niche.

More please 😁( I just love this channel so much)

Very articulate presenters. Presumably animals normally realise when a watering hole is no longer functioning as a survival refuge and set off to try and reach a better one, but perhaps slow moving sloths knew they would not have stood a chance and died of thirst on the way, so their only chance was to stay put and wait for rain.

So I was sort-of correct in my initial guess: that they ate or drank something that gave them acute dysentery, or a similar disease. I did NOT expect the contaminant to be their own poop, though - figured the piles of poop were the symptom, not the cause. Also interesting to hear modern-day critters can make the same mistake. (Welcome, Michelle! Heck of an introduction, and heck of a start for the new season: CoproDoom.)
