Sloth encounter. . .

A while back, we put up a sign that asked guests to please drive slow when they roll up our driveway. As an afterthough, we tacked up another sign below it, that says "Sloth Crossing."
The other day, that turned out to be true, as Lucy was coming back from running errands and gave me a shout on the intercom. There was a mother and her baby crossing the driveway. By the time I got the camera and got up there, the pair were already in a tree, but we were still able to get some pictures.
This was the smallest sloth we've seen yet, it would have fit in the palm of our hand. You can see the little critter clinging to its mom's belly here.
