This film recounts the discovery, in the heart of Brazil, of an exceptional paleontological site that will revolutionize our understanding of giant sloths. During an international expedition undertaken in extreme conditions, successive discoveries allow researchers to reconstruct, using computer graphics, the history of "Poço Azul" (the Blue Cave) and bring these extraordinary animals, extinct for over 10,000 years, back to life.

En sachant que sur les paresseux modernes les griffes servent a s’’accrocher aux branches : le paresseux passe presque toute sa vie suspendu dans les arbres .
Ses longues griffes courbées fonctionnent comme des crochets très solides
Spse déplacer , même s’il est lent , il utilise ses griffes pour tirer son corps de branche en branche .
Dormir sans tomber , lleurs tendons peuvent se verrouiller naturellement autour des branches, ce qui leur permet de rester suspendus même en dormant .
