Sloths in Training

TSI cares for orphaned baby sloths who had been separated from their mothers before they were able to independently care for themselves. Team Sloth steps in, hand-raises them and helps them learn to be wild. TSI also comes to the rescue when injured wild sloths are found and in need of medical care and rehabilitation. All sloths in training receive around the clock care to prepare them for a life back into the wild where they belong.

* HERO ADOPTIONS *

Hero adopt one of the Sloths In Training at TSI. Watch the sloth of your choice LIVE via Skype! Your Skype video call includes speaking with a TSI sloth expert and watching a real-time video of the sloth of your choice. You will also receive via email a special Hero Adoption Certificate featuring your chosen sloth.

Please note: For the safety of the sloths in training, audio will be between you and your TSI expert and not audible by the sloth. Sloths are very sensitive to unfamiliar sounds, which causes stress to the sloths who are already undergoing medical care and rehabilitation. It is one of the many reasons we are not open to the public.

Released Sloths

These sloths were hand-raised or received significant rehab care. Once they were old enough or healthy enough, we released them back to the rainforest, and we regularly track and monitor their progress reintegrating back into the jungle.

Wild Sloths

These are wild sloths that we track so that we can learn about the behavioral ecology of both sloth species in Costa Rica. They provide us with valuable information about what sloths eat, how they travel through the forest, who they hang out with and what are their favorite trees. This information is essential to develop the best rehabilitation protocols and conservation projects to save more sloth lives.
