Dora is one of the most active sloths (not much to boast about given the competition), she often "helped" with the cage cleaning
once she got going she could be quite effective - as long as you only wanted 1 square inch cleaned.
Some of the sloths are from the long haired mountain sub species
I think he is achieving oneness
Buttercup was amazing, here are some of her poses
I even got to hold Buttercup the day before we left. Buttercup is the original baby sloth that was brought to Judy to look after more than 20 years ago. It's sad but if they arrive as a baby it's very difficult (apparently) to prepare them for life in the wild and so most remain captive for the rest of their lives. Buttercup has so much character, we could watch her for hours.

CAUTION HORRIBLE PICTURE
A wasp stung me and it turned out that somehow (from my foot or the stinger) got bacteria into the sting - one day after it happened my foot went a bit minging and swelled up a load (PARENTS READING I HAVE BEEN TO DOCTOR AND IT IS NOW TOTALLY BETTER)
They also had a one eyed kingajou at the sanctuary, he was really friendly and would lie up against the fence for a back scratch. He had a prehensile tail which could grip your finger and huge clawed feet which looked pretty fearsome.
The sting went even weirder and I used a marker pen to track its spread - luckily we had our day off from the sanctuary the next day and I went to the doctors in Puerto Viejo
Luckily for me there was a specialist at hand to treat my foot (we were guessing this was a mistranslation of snake, amazingly an american couple asked us if there were any dangerous worms around having seen this sign)
This dog came second in the biggest ears competition for our trip
