The incredible story of Lola la Trailera, a two-fingered sloth with a taste for adventure! This adult sloth hitched a ride in the most unexpected way—by clinging onto the engine of a truck for 65 kilometers!

On July 16, the Toucan Rescue Ranch received a call for what seemed like a typical sloth rescue, but this one turned out to be anything but ordinary. Join us as we share how Lola survived this wild ride and made it back to the safety of the forest.
