Judy Arroyo from the Costa Rica Sloth Sanctuary says: "Over twenty years ago a small sloth was brought to my door. I cupped the tiny animal in my hands and knew I had to do something…"
"…This baby sloth was dying of starvation. Her mother was most likely dead and I was faced with a huge challenge. At the time, little was known about sloths, much less baby sloths. I was warned that I should let the baby go, that I would not be able to feed her, that I would only prolonging the inevitable."
I looked down at her little face and knew that I would do anything in my power to save this tiny sloth. Buttercup had a few difficult months. Today she holds the record of being the sloth to live the longest time in captivity and she reigns supreme over our veranda at the Sloth Sanctuary."
