Sad news. . .

Last week, when Gerardo was coming to work, he stumbled upon a sad sight. He and Miguel typically enter from the outside gate and come up the back trail.

Gerardo saw a dead sloth on the trail. From what we were able to figure out and piece together, the sloth must have been crossing the road when it was hit by a car, as it was missing a front leg.

Sloths on the ground are even slower than they are in the trees. Their claws are so long, they pretty much just drag themselves, using their elbows and knees as a way to get around down on terra firma.
