Meet the sloths
Edited on Thu Jun-03-10 03:37 AM by dipsydoodle
Filmed at the Aviaros del Caribe sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica - the world's only sloth orphanage. Baby 2 and 3 toed sloths, whose mother's have either been run over or zapped by power lines are brought to the sanctuary and looked after by legendary sloth whisperer Judy Arroyo.

1. Wonderful little sloths. Never have seen one until now. Didn't want the video to end.
They are enchanting. So glad there was someone who discovered they were in trouble and needed help.

After raising baby sloths, how could you ever want to see them leave? They are such peaceful, wonderful little critters. It's easy to see they love human company, and the company of other sloths. Gawd bless sloths!
