Buttercup was the first sloth that they rescued back in 1991-92, she was just a baby her mother had been hit by a car. At the time this place was a bird sanctuary so Buttercup taught them a lot about sloth care. Sadly Buttercup passed away June of 2019 she was 27 years old. In the wild sloths tend to live on average 10-20 years if they're lucky. In captivity they live can live 20-30 years. A sloth at a zoo in Australia passed away at 43 years old, that's really old for a sloth. Rest in heavenly peace Buttercup.
I guess it’s true the slower the heartbeat the longer you live. Like tortoise and turtle compared to a hummingbird. I guess I better quit doing things that make my heart beat fast👃😫😫
@GRAPHENE IS IN THE MASKS, SWABS and PCR TESTS!!! Ok! So just tell all of us....what exactly are you smoking, these days? Can you let us know? We'll all try to stay clear of it. Dumb fuck! By the way. Your name is right...Graphene, is definitely in your bloodstream.
I mean, your natural habitat is outside but I'm sure you're happy with the comforts society affords you to ease the struggle of survival, as I'm sure this sloth relates.
No dude sadly this place was legit abusing sloths they released fewer than 2 sloths per year despite having almost 200 caged up in the back, many sick and suffering from being caged up Edit: added “per year”
@Ann Fisher Wow, what an experience it must have been to see this possibly "once in a lifetime" Sloth. She lived 27 years, and we may never see a Sloth like Buttercup again, who was so people friendly. When they found her, nobody had any advice on how to raise a Sloth. They came up with everything over the years on their own. I wish I had been able to see this sweet Sloth in person. She was, and is, the most recognizable Sloth ever (besides Flash from Zootopia lol). I hope your experience was as amazing as it looks to have been.
I held one at the buffalo zoo and there hair just touched my skin for 2mins and left it chapped with bumps.i think that's a big reason there not domesticated.there fur has an entire ecosystem in it
@@MasterYoda389 so that protects them from getting eaten I assume? I suppose the fur toxicity comes from their DIEt? Seems that some of the most poisonous species get their toxic chemicals from what they consume and are immune to!
The hands... Yea they creep me out. But the way they eat is something beautiful. Like a Muppet without a real throat. Like a hand flapping two flat pieces of cardboard together...
I recently read an article published in "The Dodo" condemning this Sloth Sanctuary and have written to them with a copy to the Costa Rica Ministry of Environment and Energy - if you care about Sloths, their well being and longevity, PLEASE read this article: @t - It was written in 2016, however, I haven't found ANY documentation that from the Sanctuary that refutes the claims made in the article. I would encourage any and all forms of contribution to be sent to OTHER reputable Institutes or Rehabilitation Centers
Sloths are incredible. Like watching a gymnast in slow motion.
Or an soviet offial at work😉

Thanks for the info :-)

People call them slow, I call them graceful.
They just are very very deliberate in their movements is all. Like masters of tai chi

We love you buttercup I hope you’re having fun in sloth heaven.
Fast eater considering how slow they moved. So cute!!
They are so adorable even they are older I just love❤ them, I could just love to watch
Watching sloths are visual ASMR...
❤sloths are my favorite animal!!!!! Like puffins are my favorite bird
i feel like a sloth would be one of the most chill pets you could own.... kinda want a pet sloth now lol
Can you imagine how strong a human would have to be to move this slow and manover around an object like that!
i was thinking of that, it's crazy how strong they are
Every time I see a sloth it makes me wish they didn't exist. Something this sweet should never exist
Such a cutiesloth! 😊❤sloths
She looks so happy even though she’s doesn’t live outside but hey she’ll live longer

Slothis friendis...I love these creatures.. please protect there forests and environments please
I really feel for mama sloths who must go through labor in super slow motion.
😭
Or if the baby pops out…whooosh!!!!
Such beautiful and passive animals
До чего же они милые, мечтаю подержать их 😍😘♥️
This is the fastest sloth i have ever seen.

yeah it doesn't look like they groom. or get groomed.
Imagine biting into that :(

I wonder what that red flower tastes like! They are just so cute and sweet!
Hibiscus=Sloth chocolate!!!
when i speed up the video 1.75x she almost moves 'normal', which means she's seeing us zipping around like hummingbirds..
🤪
@GRAPHENE IS IN THE MASKS, SWABS and PCR TESTS!!! i bet hummingbirds see us moving around like Apollo launch crawlers..
They move so zen-like...if you want to have some peace of mind...remember how the Tai-Chi exercises resemble this a lot :)
I want a sloth!
Rip buttercup :(
She died??? What happened???😨😰😧🙏
@@carolinevictory1414 She died
@@5kr3aminMunk33 😭😢🦥
Imagine seeing a this guy hanging onto your ceiling at 2 a.m when nobody is at home.
No flowers will not save the world.
Im with Buttercup 🦉🌏

You dont know how much. I want a sloth
Omg she is so strong !
This animals are way to cute
Wanna hug her
A Sloth body to head ratio size is smaller compare to other animal that’s why sloth is very slow and also get exhausted very easily.

Yes, I read that article!!! Just plain evil- those people should be shot!!!😡
What kind/s of flowers do sloth eat? Fr d Philippines i know tht flowers of squash/ pumpkin, katuray n some vegetables r edible.
This is how slow-motion was invented.
I loveeeee buttercup I named a white sloth teddy after uuuuuu
YES!
They are beautiful and precious animals, but they belong in the forest. It's where they are meant to live.
The fuck wrong with you what's beautiful about this thing 🤣
So do humans
those things can climb the fuck out of a tree
She wants to go down but don't know how, it's too high.
sweeet buttercup
How sad. Needs more branches and trees to nibble on
R.I.P
She died??? What happened???😰
美女 再找什么？不喜欢垫底啊。。呵呵 原来要吃中餐了 好美的树懒 ❤❤❤
☺❤😔💔
omg
I could not live with that thing in my house
Don't worry...She's dead in 2019🏵🌹
I don’t think they are native to earth. Out of all animals on earth it’s like which one of these things does not belong.
