Today and yesterday were amazing and we did so much that I am going to split it up into multiple parts. Between today and yesterday, I took 470 pictures!
We went to a cocoa farm, where over 300 sloths live and are studied. We got to see three (2 three-toed sloths and 1 two-toed).
Sloth number 1: about 2 year old, female, 3-toed. She looks cute and cuddly, but was growling at us the entire time.
 |
| The greenish tint is from moss that grows on them. |
 |
| They get weighed and measured. This one tried to climb the scale. |
 |
The blue tie is so she won't get caught again, then she was released.
Sloth number 2: A 5-6 year old male, the yellow line down the back indicates a male, 3-toed
|
 |
| He was already caught by the time we saw him. |
 |
| Three toes! |
 |
| He didn't want to get back in the bag so we could hold him. |

| Skye |
 |
| Maggie |
 |
| Emma |
 |
| Jenny, she really identified with the sloth :) |
 |
| Nick |
 |
| Brandy |
 |
| Then he got carried back to his tree in the bag. |
Sloth number 3: 10 year old male named Byron, 2-toed
