Found throughout Central America and northern parts of South America, the sloths are some of the most unique creatures to grace our planet. Living high off the rainforest floor these slow moving mammals have a lot going on for them, as well as anatomy that many would consider to be that of a superhero. In this class, we will learn just what is up with this marvelous yet misunderstood creature. We will learn all about the natural history and interesting biology of the different species of sloth. Sloths, although seemingly boring and lazy, are quite important to an active, healthy, and thriving ecosystem as they not only provide intrinsic value to the external rainforest biome as prey and dispersers, but also to a home of sometimes over 70 unique species within their own fur micro-ecosystem! They are also the only terrestrial mammal to allow algal growth through hydroponics. There is so much more to learn about this amazing animal! This is a lecture style, interactive class with plenty of time to ask questions. We will have slides in order to view this species and their anatomy as well. Sloth conservation is incredible crucial as these animals are listed as being a species of least concern, yet their populations are plummeting at a rapid pace within our modern age. We will spend some time to talk about how important it is to make sure the rainforests these wonderful creatures live in are preserved as well as our sloths themselves. No prior knowledge is necessary, a love for animals is always appreciated :)

Hello prospective parents and guardians! My name is Greg or "Mr. G" and I'm an educator from New Jersey, U.S.A..
For over two decades I’ve had a fascination for all there is to do with the natural world and the creatures that call it home. I have worked with and cared for a multitude of species (dogs, frogs, cats, birds, rodents, lizards, snakes, turtles, hedgehogs, fish, various other wildlife, and much more!) throughout the entirety of my life as I tend to my own mini animal sanctuary, love, and work conserving/ researching animals from around the world. I have been teaching learners from over 50 countries here on Outschool since early 2021! :D
I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University where I received a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Minor in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences! My coursework in university focused on veterinary sciences, biological/natural sciences, and wildlife (Mammalogy, Ornithology, Herpetology, Conservation, and Management). I spent time as a veterinary assistant, have participated in university studies and ongoing research regarding plants and animals (invertebrates, reptiles, various flora), have worked as a fauna and flora surveyor through college and beyond. My continued research of the world around us and outreach is one of my greatest missions. I love hearing about my students' interests and knowledge and look forward to imparting my own to them as well!
My focus as an educator is fostering a love for learning, animals, and what the world has to offer past, present, and future. My teaching style is inclusive, interactive, and hands-on. I believe learning should be fun, enjoyable, and thrilling for both student and teacher. I have a variety of animals that can be incorporated in class to help get learners engaged and excited about nature and the world we live in. We need to get our next generation connected to nature and the organisms that live alongside us to pass the torch and save all that we can!
My passions apart from animals are cooking, art, conservation of the planet, and outdoor activities such as hiking and animal surveying.
I absolutely adore what I do and I'm so excited to meet and teach your learner! Thanks for stopping by and remember... never stop learning!
For specific scheduling requests/ class times, please send me a message!
