presented by Maya Kaup, a Master’s of Science Candidate at the University of Mississippi. The lecture will be held in the Zoo’s Flamingo Room at 7:00 PM and preceded by a reception beginning at 6:30 PM.
Maya’s research focuses on the many microorganisms living in the fur of sloths. She will discuss the reasons why sloths are so interesting to study and will present her current research, taking the audience on a journey through the rainforests of Costa Rica.
