Jessie on a Journey
A sloth is clinging to the rough bark of a tree trunk, its furry body blending in with the mottled shades of brown and gray bark. Its long curved claws grasp the tree firmly, and its beady eyes peer out from its round face with a calm, languid expression. The sloth's shaggy coat has a greenish tint, suggesting the presence of algae or other vegetation growing in its fur. The background is a vibrant blend of lush greens, likely depicting the dense foliage of a tropical rainforest ecosystem.

Sloth Spotted in Costa Rican Supermarket Parking Lot

#CostaRica is known for its adorable #sloths, known for being super slow. Interestingly, they only come down from their tree perch once a week to do their business, and their bodies act as an ecosystem for a number of insects like beetles, fungi and cockroaches (gross but cool). They're SO cute...and literally everywhere. This shot was taken in the parking lot of a supermarket my white water rafting group stopped in before hitting the rapids with Costa Rica Descents in #LaFortuna. It was taken by the company's photographer. What's your most random #wildlife sighting?
