Cementing sloths’ reputation as the cuddliest tree-dwelling mammals, this mother and baby sloth curl up together in an animal rescue centre in Costa Rica. Along with a male sloth, they were found in the Santa Elena hills of Nicoya, far outside their natural range, raising suspicions that they had been stolen as part of the illegal wildlife trade.
