sloth

Listen, a hooligan sloth is not something that you see every day, so this one is really something to cherish. An adorable sloth (and her baby) are currently going through a recovery process with a veterinarian, better known as TheSlothVet on imgur, and they are both painfully adorable

.After weeks of not being able to move her arm, the sloth momma is finally able to scratch herself, and she is almost as overjoyed as we are - almost. She has stolen the hearts of the internet, and she's about to steal yours as well. Very slowly. You have every chance to outrun her love, but you know you don't want to. 

They may be slow, but oh my god, they are so quick to get right into our hearts and stay there. Sloths are just such unique and interesting creatures. Being so slow in nature has to have its downsides, but sloths persevere, surviving, not going anywhere (mostly literally), making tiny little baby sloths to continue their slow-building legacy.

They're the best creatures to remind you that it's okay to sometimes take a break and rest, that even if you're not the fastest, that doesn't mean that you're not strong (and totally adorable. We love sloths. Who doesn't love sloths. And today, were appreciating their tiny legacies together. 

Anyone else dialing up their travel agent as they read this? Haha, just kidding -- who has a travel agent? 

But seriously, we are deep into Google flights figuring out how to make this our reality! 

A stunning luxurious hotel in the Costa Rica rainforest, Nayara Hotels, is speaking to our hearts right now. Filled with luxury, adventure, relaxation and nature -- this place seems to have it all. 

Oh. And it has one other thing -- Sloths! 

Sloths may be extremely slow but have you ever seen a happier animal? We can learn a lot from these adorable creatures. Like how it's okay to slow down, and appreciate little things and enjoy the moment we're in. It's okay to slow things down every now and then and take a moment to relax. As long as you're happy -- it doesn't matter your pace in life! You'll get where you need to go, just like these sloths. 

The Sloth Conservation Foundation (SloCo) is a registered non-profit organisation dedicated to saving sloths in the wild through research and conservation initiatives. Based on the belief that every single person has the ability to make a positive difference, we are focused on inspiring individuals to care about sloths, to protect the rainforest ecosystem and to safeguard a future for the planet that we all share. Sloth populations are in decline throughout South and Central America as they struggle to adapt to the urbanisation of the rainforest. Saving these incredible animals from extinction now requires innovative and long-term conservation solutions that provide sustainable ways for sloths to coexist with the people sharing their habitat. Their new project is turning "Game of thrones" characters into "Game of sloths".

Crawl, don't walk, to Folly Farm's new sloth retirement home.

If you think retirement homes are just for humans, think again. According to the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the adventure park zoo in Wales, UK, opened this unique resting home in November 2018.
