    Costa Rica is a sloth sanctuary
    Known for its wonderful Sloth Sanctuary, Costa Rica gives you a chance to see these beautiful creatures up close and personal.

     September 30, 2017
    This rescue and rehabilitation facility in Limón Province is home to a number of sloths that are looked after trained staff and volunteers who work to rehabilitate them into the wild.

    The Aviarios del Caribe sanctuary was started when Buttercup the sloth was given to the owners of a hotel just outside Limon 25 years ago. From here, they realised there was more they could do and decided to open the sanctuary so they could help hand-rear sloths and rehabilitate them back into their natural habitat.

    • God has certainly created some very interesting creatures. In Genesis, it is said that man was to be a care-taken (a steward) of God' creation.

    In one video clip, there was a police officer who picked up a sloth at the back of his neck and carried him across a busy highway. The sloth did not resist. That is where he wanted to go.

    In the UK, the vowel in sloth is a diphthong which is pronounced like the one found in low.
