Sloths Revisited
We were lucky enough to revisit Roger and Binnie and their
beautiful Sloths, while there we watched an amazing video made by the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica.
Roger with Lightening the Two Toed Sloth The Sloths in this area can only survive if the Secropia
Tree has grown here, there have been attempts to relocate local Three Toes Sloths to other regions but, unfortunately,
they have only lived for a short time due to the fact that they don’t get the same nutrients from the soil and
therefore become malnourished.
Maureen with Dooger who also enjoys fruit, Pippin sticks to
Secropia leaves They are fabulous climbers, great swimmers and
marathon sleepers – between 18 and 20 hours a day. What a wonderful experience! |
