Over a hundred sloths have been rescued from an area that is being deforested. Right now they are being kept in and around the house belonging to the head of Green Heritage Foundation until they can be released back into the wild. Currently there are eight babies who need to be fed goat milk from a dropper. The adults are fed leaves that are retrieved from the rainforest.
Today I got to go and help feed the babies. What an amazing experience that I will treasure forever!

| Check out the claws. They use them like fingers to hold onto things. |

| The babies were separated from their mothers but other adult females have become surrogates and are helping to care for the babies. It's pretty adorable to see them snuggling. Now if only the surrogates had milk the babies wouldn't need our help! |

| There was an anteater there as well. |
