On a recent trip to Costa Rica at Bogarin Sloth Trail in La Fortuna, we caught this 3-toed sloth on the ground. They live in trees most of their lives but come to the ground about once a week to go urinate. Most of the group was looking for sloths in the trees so I was looking on the ground for frogs and flowers and happened to spot this fellow our guide missed. They have algae in their fur, hence the green color. The translation of the Latin word for sloth is without care.
