Mother and child reunion: Baby sloth reunites with mom

Have you ever heard a baby sloth? 🦥💚 Baby sloths make sounds to call their mothers. Two-fingered babies, like this one, make a “meep,” while three-fingered babies produce a high-pitched call. This baby was orphaned and cared for at a local rescue center, then reintroduced into the wild. Remember, sloths are not pets! Celebrate #SlothTober and #InternationalSlothDay by visiting our Slothopedia and making a gift to sloths! | The Sloth Conservation Foundation

Have you ever heard a baby sloth cry? This baby is calling for its mother, who is high in the canopy of trees. Babies can fall from the tops of trees without being injured, and usually, their mothers will climb down to retrieve them. If it's not necessary, the best thing to do is wait for the mother and interfere as little as possible. And remember, although adorable, sloths do not make good pets! #Adoptasloth #cute #conservation | The Sloth Conservation Foundation
