WILD Sloths

These are wild sloths that we track so that we can learn about the behavioral ecology of both sloth species in Costa Rica.  They provide us with valuable information about what sloths eat, how they travel through the forest, who they hang out with and what are their favorite trees.  This information is essential to develop the best rehabilitation protocols and conservation projects to save more sloth lives.

By symbolically adopting a sloth you help provide food, medicine and other resources for orphaned and injured sloths rehabilitating at The Sloth Institute.

As a sloth Advocate you will receive a personalized Adoption Certificate of this month’s featured sloth OR the sloth of your choice.

In addition you will be able to schedule a LIVE video chat with a TSI sloth expert and the sloths rehabilitating at our facilities. This gives you not only the chance to see sloths up close live without interrupting their day, but it also gives you a chance to ask all of the questions about sloths that you’ve been saving.

For the safety of the sloths in training, audio will be between you and your TSI expert and not audible by the sloths. Sloths are very sensitive to unfamiliar sounds, which causes stress to the sloths who are already undergoing medical care and rehabilitation. It is one of the many reasons we are not open to the public.

WILD Sloths!

By contributing to tracked wild sloths, you will be supporting our research and monitoring program!
