Parque National Manual Antonio, sloths






This park is full of life, here is a beautiful example off the Costa Rican two-toed (Choloepus hoffmanni) sloth.

They were just hanging out in the trees about 30ft above our heads. The green tinge to their coat is from an alguie which sticks to them in the humid rainy seasons, I can feel for them as I am currently going through three t-shirts a day - it's so hot and humid here!

Check out the video, don't you think the face look errily human, like a small boys head on an extra large, wet, teddy bear...
