Near the entrance to the waterfall in La Fortuna (Costa Rica), we came across this sloth in the palm tree.
A sloth is not lazy at all. It just has very little energy. This is because of the tough leaves it eats. They are difficult to digest and not very nutritious either. The sloth has a large stomach where special bacteria help with digestion. This takes weeks. The sloth does come in very handy. The jungles of South and Central America are a dangerous place.
This sloth has algae growing on its back, which is why it is green!
