Jungle Daily - The Three Toed Sloth

You have to get up early and be prepared for a long walk up and down the steepest hills in the burning heat to photograph sloths.Not to mention the mosquitoes and the neck breaking pain of staring endlessly up into the high tree tops. For me it is more than worth it. They are most active at night, so the earliest hour finds then awake and active before they settle into a sleepy day. They are so beautiful, such peaceful gracious creatures, living a life quietly and trouble free in the tops of the rainforest trees. I can't think of a more beautiful place to spend ones life.

Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect but because we put our heart into what we do.

Wonderful photography and the Sloths are really beautiful creature. Their body structure looks similar to monkey but their face is different.

And hands are very different 🌈🌴🦋💛

you are right, hands are too different. Looks like their hands are full of nails.

Stunningly beautiful!

Upvoted and resteemed :D

Thank you very much 💛🌈🦋🌴❤️

Superb monkey... Fabulous photography @sallybeth23

Sloths are not monkeys. They are sloths - completely different and not related.

I wonder how long this sloth have been yawning on the fourth picture :D Great photos! Absolutely love it!

It actually called out as it yawned , it was an amazing moment 🌈🌴🦋💛

Oh dear where did you found this are you not scared about it.

I am not at all scared by it , they are beautiful gentle creatures and do not attack people.
