Hi ecotrain community!
Today I want to share some views you may be lucky enough to experience if you visit Costa Rica. You have to get up at dawn to watch these sloths in action, before they fall asleep for the day. These are all photos of three toed sloths found more in the South but there are also two toed sloths more so found further up the country. I love them all!
They are protected and numbers are growing fast which is really positive news.
Thanks for checking out these beautiful, graceful creatures who are so so close to my heart! They are so lovable.
Puravida!xx
They look so happy! It's good to hear numbers are increasing. Is it their habitat that's had to be protected? I can't imagine them being hunted.

That'd be pretty unsporting, I'd think.

Not only unsporting, but I can't imagine they'd make an appealing meal, either.

Imagine proudly displaying a mounted sloth head in the study.

It would be but I do know monkeys and giant iguanas were hunted in Costa Rica so one can’t rule anything out it seems.

Yes numbers decreased mainly due to rainforest clearing for arable farming but thankfully that is also protected I have not heard of people hunting them so don’t know for sure that answer. I will ask some locals though.

In the area where I live it was usual to see them on the trees or on the road, people would care for them and help them got to a tree before some car would hit them. It´s been a while without seeing one. Lovely creatures, for sure!
