Field Notes

Description:

One of the slowest creatures on earth. Lives in trees.

Habitat:

Jungle

Notes:

We saw sloths every day during our Bluff Beach Retreat visit in Bocas del Toro, Panama. We spotted this mommy and baby just steps from our villa. What a fantastic to be within just two feet of these creatures, which showed no sign of disturbance while we observed.

They were the neatest, sweetest creatures to observe. Yes, look at those smiles. 😊
