sloth sanctuary

 Hundreds of orphaned sloths given a new lease of life at Costa Rican sanctuary

Tucking into a tasty carrot snack, this bright-eyed baby sloth is making a happy recovery after being adopted. Sloths, found in the rainforests of Central and South America, usually grow to just under two feet long and can live up to 40 years.
