Because of the challenges these cute animals face in their native environments, the Jaguar Rescue Center has taken action to understand how they reproduce. Our goal is to learn more about sloths' reproductive biology so we may start breeding them successfully in captivity. This study was done with permits from the Ministry of Energy and Environment (MINAE) and the National Commission fo...

Among the branches of lush tropical landscapes, where time appears to slow down, lives a fascinating animal that has come to represent peace: the sloth.
