Colombia - Wild and Free

A Mother Brown-Throated Sloth and Her Baby

A mother brown-throated sloth and her baby live in the rainforest that covers the steep slopes of Colombia. They are uninhabited by humans, but a teeming with diverse flora and fauna. This young sloth will spend six months hanging onto its mother’s stomach learning from her. Considering these animals spend up to 18 hours a day sleeping in the treetops, this young one will be slow to learn.
