I want to touch a sloth sometime so bad and cuddle one! I wonder if you can and if the sanctuary in Costa Rica lets the visitors pet them.

Sloth Animated gifs!

This is embarrassing, but I illustrate my personal emails.  I love baby sloths, and here are animated gifs you might enjoy:

Great, now I have to add sloth to the long list of cute animals I want to adopt one day.

Hold on, what gives? All I said was that sloths are my spirit animal. Why would anyone want to censor that?

Cute, and yet--they do look very much like a failed sadistic genetic experiment.

Sloths rule

They are so cute and funny!
I love watching ours at the zoo, but mostly they sleep all day.

Insanely adorable.

I love sloths so much! I want someone to pull a Jurassic Park and make me a prehistoric giant sloth. That hero on the motorcycle should get a medal!

Sloths on film? Where's the John Boehner footage?

Oh, it's supposed to be "cute" footage. My bad.

It's official! Sloths are the new apex of adorable. Their cuteness surpasses kittens, pandas and pokemon combined.

Who's with me?!

I bet sloths are delicious!

Wow, I bet your evolution chart is as deep as a kiddie pool. These animals are key to the replanting of our rain forests, ie: AIR you BREATH

Especially baby sloths. Baby anything taste better...See baby corn, eggs, veal, caviar, I could go on and on but my favorite is baby dolphin.

Breathe...don't even bother

LMAO!!! Wow, take it easy. Its what you may recognize as a joke. Do you have a sense of humor, DoyouhaveaflagUK? I consider myself as much, usually more, of an environmentalist than anyone I know. That includes physically making the world a better place through action more and not just taking myself way too seriously on a internet commenting post like most people find a lot easier (hopefully your in my group and not the latter). I love your energy and passion, I only hope its not going to waste on battles like this.

See how that sloth did some mid-air planking after he was picked up to cross the street.

I want a sloth. They cant run away like dogs and cats.

You could let them out and 2 days later they would still be in the yard trying to make a break for it.

Soooo Slow, but so cute.

The little tyke on the floor under a table isn't a sloth. It's an Aye Aye which is a small Madagascan primate. It has little fingers. Sloths have the curved claws on each foot.
