The excitement generated by the call of 'Sloth has moved was nothing like the excitement of 'Sloth and baby!' This was such a thrill! We were shooting way up in the tree, where we got a few minutes to get clear shots, then she moved deeper into the canopy where it became impossible to photograph them again.
Sloths are not kept in captive or fenced in, they live in the tallest trees and freely move round the canopy. They cant be attracted by food as they only eat the leaves on certain trees. They need primary rainforest to survive. Costa Rica underwent a huge de-forestation in the 1960s for agriculture. The presnt Costa Rica government is working hard to slow that down. Sloths only have babies every 3 years and the mortality rate of their young is apparently, 60%.
La Perica Sloth Garden, Osa Peninsula. Costa Rica.
Although the primary target was Tigers, we were also really hopeful that we might see a Sloth Bear and whilst we did not get a good photo opportunity we did at least see two bears (which was a significant improvement on our trip to Svalbard last year). Both were carrying cubs on their backs - in this case a single cub. It was not possible to get a clear view of the mother but I did manage this record shot of the little cub.

If you think of the eighties, you have to think of the Goonies, right?
Happy Nerdvember everyone!
There are 2 different Sloths in Costa Rica. this Sloth is a three toed Sloth. The other is two toed.
Brown throated 3-toed sloths (Bradypus variegatus), the species most typically found in Costa Rica. Our sloth mom was surprisingly active and while we watch, she moved about the tree and even came lower down where we could more easily see her sweet baby.
Arenal Volcano National Park, Costa Rica.
Conservation status: least concern.
A difficult to photograph sloth bear seen rummaging for food behind some bushes by the side of a dirt road. Photographed during our photo-safari in Ranthambore National Park, India.
Ranthambore National Park is a large wildlife reserve that located in northern India in the Sawai Madhopur district of southeastern Rajasthan. The park covers 1,334 sq km (515 sq mi), and is famous for its Bengal tigers which roam freely throughout the park. It is also home to many other protected animals and plants including the Indian leopard, sambar, sloth bear, nilgai, wild boar, striped hyena, southern plains gray langur, rhesus macaque, mugger crocodile, chital and a wide variety of trees, plants, birds and reptiles.

La Union, Guapiles - Costa Rica.
The grooved hairs of the sloth's shaggy coat are a host to green algae which helps the sloth camouflage itself in the trees. It also provides nutrients to the sloth as well as a sloth moth which can survive wholly on the algae.

Sloths belong to the superorder Xenarthra, a group of placental mammals believed to have evolved in the continent of South America around 60 million years ago.One study found that xenarthrans broke off from other placental mammals around 100 million years ago.Anteaters and armadillos are also included among Xenarthra.

I have a question for you, lovely Flickr friends: I'm gradually building up stock of my drawings, mainly animals, and wondered where you think they look better with a colour background or left white (as in the example below)? It's very hard to know what to do for the best!
This Sloth was extremely high in a tree at a very bad angle and very shy with its head hardly ever even slightly visible. This was the only sloth seen on this 10 day trip to Costa Rica so I am glad I got some photos of it. In our previous trips we saw many more sloths so it wasn't a target but they are always fun to see. It is interesting how Sloths don't seem as common on the Osa Peninsula and definitely not as common on the Pacific side as they are on the Caribbean side. This was a major crop.
Wild Sloth in Costa Rica
I just got back from Costa Rica. We saw six sloths while we were there but most were asleep with their heads down and just looked like a furry ball in a tree. I was fortunate to have found this guy while he was active. I came home with some nice images of a species I didn’t think I would get to see in my lifetime. An amazing experience and now I can’t wait to go back!
Thanks for viewing.
