Costa Rica Year in Review: Our favorite sloth Photos

As 2019 comes to a close, we can’t help but reflect on some of the most memorable moments of the year, and for us, that means celebrating one of the most beloved creatures on the planet: sloths. These gentle, slow-moving animals have captured the hearts of people around the world with their endearing expressions, laid-back lifestyle, and incredible resilience. While every sloth is special in its own way, we’ve gathered some of our favorite sloth pictures from the past year to share with you.

Now, let us be clear — we’re not saying that some sloths are better than others. Every sloth is a good sloth! Whether they’re hanging out in the treetops, cuddling with their friends, or showing off their climbing skills, sloths never fail to make us smile. Each one has its own unique charm and personality, and that’s what makes them so captivating. From the smallest baby sloth learning to navigate its world to the wisest old sloth enjoying a peaceful nap, they all hold a special place in our hearts.

This year has been filled with amazing sloth moments, and we’ve been lucky enough to capture some of them on camera. As you scroll through these photos, we hope you’ll feel a sense of joy and appreciation for these incredible animals. Whether you’ve been a sloth fan for years or are just discovering their charm, these pictures are sure to brighten your day.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into the world of sloths and celebrate the year through their eyes. Here’s to all the good sloths of 2019 — may they continue to inspire us with their slow and steady ways!
