Wild Sloth
While we were in Costa Rica, we looked for sloths everywhere we went. (Tip: The three-toed sloths, like this one, like cecropia trees) We saw a few way up in trees, but nothing like this one.
This sloth was in a short 6-foot tree, about 50 feet from the pool at the guest cabin we were staying at in Cahuita. It was so close and so low, we could have picked it up (we didn't touch it).
It probably came down to the ground (to go to the bathroom), then crawled back up the wrong tree. Eventually, it did crawl back down to the ground and crawl up a big, tall tree.
