.@stephgosk got up close and personal with the world’s most energy-efficient animal: the sloth. Why are they so lazy and what can we learn from them?
Hey @SlothanaCoin community! Thank you so much for adopting Nacho 🧡 and supporting our research and conservation efforts! Keep going 💪🏽 ✨️
#WorldBookDay is here, and if you're a sloth lover, here's a book you might want on your bookshelf!
#IndigenousDay 🌿 Since joining us in 2020, Diego, our forest nursery manager, has been an integral part of our team. He is currently studying Natural Resources Management, and his knowledge of nature, local communities, and botany is vital to our conservation efforts.
Blog | Sloths and eclipses 🦥🌔🌓🌒🌑🌘🌗🌖 This time we're not in the path of today's eclipse, but last year, we experienced an annular eclipse here in Costa Rica and we explored some hypotheses about sloths' behavior during events like this.
It’s a sloth FIGHT 🥊 turn the sound up and watch until the end! This video shows two male sloths having the sloth version of a punch up. Sloths are usually very peaceful creatures, but if there is a female nearby looking for a mate - all hell breaks loose.

Keysha is the dog, and Tamara is the human; together, they are making history. "The Great Sloth Census" is groundbreaking research aimed at understanding the sloth population—we don't yet know how many sloths there are or what the ideal number should be.
By counting sloth poop piles, we can estimate the number of sloths living in an area. Additionally, analyzing these samples allows us to learn more about sloth diets, parasites, and other important aspects about genetics. Learn more: bit.ly/3TjXhBf
"Besides its status as a hub of biodiversity, Costa Rica also produces more pineapple than anywhere else. Almost 50 percent of the pineapples in the world are exported from Costa Rica, including over 80 percent of pineapple consumed in the U.S." bit.ly/3T8lVpj

Did you know that sloths can float thanks to their huge stomachs? And that they are three times faster in water than on land?
