While being taken on a behind the scenes tour at a Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica, it became clear that the sloth "Buttercup" was less interested in eating than it was hugging!

The Sloth Sanctuary is found on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and is famous not only for the conservation and rehabilitation of sloths but also for its groundbreaking research. Buttercup has been as this site for over 25 years and is one of the biggest names at the Sloth Santuary (http://www.slothsanctuary.com/).
