Buttercup was the first sloth that they rescued back in 1991-92, she was just a baby her mother had been hit by a car. At the time this place was a bird sanctuary so Buttercup taught them a lot about sloth care. Sadly Buttercup passed away June of 2019 she was 27 years old. In the wild sloths tend to live on average 10-20 years if they're lucky. In captivity they live can live 20-30 years. A sloth at a zoo in Australia passed away at 43 years old, that's really old for a sloth. Rest in heavenly peace Buttercup.

I guess it’s true the slower the heartbeat the longer you live. Like tortoise and turtle compared to a hummingbird. I guess I better quit doing things that make my heart beat fast👃😫😫

Sloths are incredible. Like watching a gymnast in slow motion.

❤sloths are my favorite animal!!!!! Like puffins are my favorite bird

Watching sloths are visual ASMR...

Fast eater considering how slow they moved. So cute!!

Can you imagine how strong a human would have to be to move this slow and manover around an object like that!

I mean, your natural habitat is outside but I'm sure you're happy with the comforts society affords you to ease the struggle of survival, as I'm sure this sloth relates.

No dude sadly this place was legit abusing sloths they released fewer than 2 sloths per year despite having almost 200 caged up in the back, many sick and suffering from being caged up Edit: added “per year”

This is the fastest sloth i have ever seen.

Every time I see a sloth it makes me wish they didn't exist. Something this sweet should never exist

Rip buttercup :(

The hands... Yea they creep me out. But the way they eat is something beautiful. Like a Muppet without a real throat. Like a hand flapping two flat pieces of cardboard together...

@Ann Fisher Wow, what an experience it must have been to see this possibly "once in a lifetime" Sloth. She lived 27 years, and we may never see a Sloth like Buttercup again, who was so people friendly. When they found her, nobody had any advice on how to raise a Sloth. They came up with everything over the years on their own. I wish I had been able to see this sweet Sloth in person. She was, and is, the most recognizable Sloth ever (besides Flash from Zootopia lol). I hope your experience was as amazing as it looks to have been.

I wonder what that red flower tastes like! They are just so cute and sweet!

They move so zen-like...if you want to have some peace of mind...remember how the Tai-Chi exercises resemble this a lot :)

Imagine seeing a this guy hanging onto your ceiling at 2 a.m when nobody is at home.

Omg she is so strong !

This animals are way to cute

Wanna hug her

What kind/s of flowers do sloth eat? Fr d Philippines i know tht flowers of squash/ pumpkin, katuray n some vegetables r edible.

I recently read an article published in "The Dodo" condemning this Sloth Sanctuary and have written to them with a copy to the Costa Rica Ministry of Environment and Energy - if you care about Sloths, their well being and longevity, PLEASE read this article: @t - It was written in 2016, however, I haven't found ANY documentation that from the Sanctuary that refutes the claims made in the article. I would encourage any and all forms of contribution to be sent to OTHER reputable Institutes or Rehabilitation Centers

A Sloth body to head ratio size is smaller compare to other animal that’s why sloth is very slow and also get exhausted very easily.

YES!

This is how slow-motion was invented.
