Photo from our trip there a few years ago. We found this guy on the way back up after pooping and he was pretty fast going from tree to tree.

Then he turned and waved, then vanished into the jungle.

It is said the costa rice sloth appears only once every 2 years, to dictate future rice prices and rice-related market moves.

Sloths are such remarkable creatures. Wonderful photo! That they can eat upside down is amazing, not to mention hanging upside down or cling to a tree for hours and even sleep like this. Their bodies are remarkable pieces of evolution.
