It was awesome! One even rolled over on its side to get belly rubs. Definitely would recommend for any animal lovers. :)

Aw, I went to a jungle hotel in Central America that had capybaras on the grounds... never got to see one. They had a sloth sanctuary though and I got to see one of those slow bois.
Sloth facts: Sloths only poop every three weeks. When they poop, a moth that lives on them deposits its eggs into the sloth poop, and that's how the eggs will hatch and the babies will go on to find their own sloth host!
According to my sister who used to live out there, when sloths crossed the road it would drive everyone nuts, as it takes ages.
