Here is more beautiful wildlife from Costa Rica. Mom saw lots of Butterflies and here are some she caught shots of. And some were just too fast to catch on camera!

Two Toes & Some Algae!
Today I would like to present a very interesting new animal friend also from Costa Rica. It is the Two-Toed Sloth!
This mama Sloth and her baby were hanging out up in a tree, right outside of mom's hut in the Tortuguero rainforest.
This mama Sloth and her baby were hanging out up in a tree, right outside of mom's hut in the Tortuguero rainforest.
They are very lethargic and move very slowly. They eat various tree leaves, and digest their food very slowly.
And guess what? They only come down to the ground once a week to poop! Just think how much less litter my mom would have to buy for my litter box, if I was like a Sloth!
This Sloth also has specialized fur that enables algae to grow in it, which helps in camouflaging them. I sure am glad my furs are pristine and are algae-free! Algae is not for me!
Thanks mom, for finding me these new interesting Sloth friends!
