Sloth Sanctuary

(Costa Rica)

The Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica is not only home to Buttercup, the world’s most photographed sloth, it is also home to legendary sloth whisperer, Judy Arroyo, who nurses injured and orphaned sloths back to health.

When Buttercup turned up on Arroyo’s doorstep more than 20 years ago, she had no idea how to care for a baby sloth, but through trial and error she saved Buttercup from certain death; soon people were bringing her the adorable animals on a regular basis, and the world’s only sloth orphanage was born.

Donations are sought for the sanctuary.

Interestingly, when I first read 'sloth sanctuary,' I immediately thought of Congress.
