🦥 We are a nonprofit founded in 2017 by Dr. Rebecca Cliffe, who has 15 years of experience in sloth research and conservation. We’ve published nine research papers on sloth ecology and run community-based programs in Costa Rica to protect wild sloths and their habitats. Follow us!
“Deslocado” means displaced. The viral song speaks to anyone living far from home.
As urbanization pushes deeper into the jungle, sloths are losing theirs.

Fences, walls, rooftops, restaurants, roads...

Sloths aren’t going anywhere, but neither is development.

"Our cycles are in sync": Sloth pooping edition 🦥

Sloths defecating once a week at the base of trees was already strange, but then we discovered they also do it in river waters. And now, one of the weirdest records yet: two sloths synchronized (!!). So many questions!

🥵 How do sloths reproduce? How does a sloth find a mate? Does it take forever?

We hope this video answers all your questions about sloth mating!

It’s the month of Valentine, love, and #SlothLoveMonth
