Video Wednesday: adorable sloth strolling around Costa Rican jungle

Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!

Obviously, hosting this series regularly will be more challenging than I thought. I just realized I skipped it in the past two weeks again and I am sorry about that. Very busy times here on Hive lately and too many other, more topical things to post about. But today, I am here with another contribution to my Video Wednesday series and I think you will love it ;)

It was actually Hive account@sofathana and her recent post about sloths in Caracas what inspired me to come up with this sloth footage for my today´s episode of the Video Wednesday series. My one and only (so far) encounter with these fascinating creatures happened in Costa Rica a few years ago but it was so powerful and emotional that I completely fell in love with these curious furry fellas right there :) I have already published a few posts about the sloths, shared some photos of them with you and also wrote about how important it is to drive slowly and carefully in places where sloths live because their extreme slowness make them very prone to car accidents. Honestly, I am not sure if I also showed you this footage that I captured in the Costa Rican jungle but if I did, it´s definitely not available anymore because I must have uploaded it on one of the old Steem video platforms that don´t exist anymore. So today, I uploaded it on my Youtube channel where it should stay for some time so hopefully, the link below will work in future too ;)

Let me first put some photos in here. You might have already seen the first two but the third one is a kind of bonus - yeah, that´s me posing with my new furry friend :D It was in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Sweet memories from an incredibly beautiful country that we got to explore a bit during the relaxed, light-hearted pre-covid times...

I hope you enjoyed the photos and especially the video :) As you can see, the little guy was actually very courageous and curious about me as he was moving right towards me. Sloths are such amazing creatures. I hope you will get a chance to see some in their natural environment too. Truly priceless experience.
