Sloth Lifespan: How Long Do Sloths Live?

Sloth

Not all sloth work is the same... Some people help orphaned and injured sloths at rescue centers, and although we’ve been there, that’s not what we do! We work with wild sloths: we study them in the forest, learn about their behavior and ecology, and most importantly, we work to protect the habitats they call home. Because the best rescue is the one that never has to happen. Follow us for more research, conservation, and sloth content! Visit our profile to make a gift to sloths and support our p

October 20 is International Sloth Day, and we’re bringing back the story of a sloth named Arthur. We met Arthur during fieldwork — a sight that’s sadly common here in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Unless a sloth is in danger, like near a road, dogs, or power lines, the best thing to do is not interfere. Instead, we focus on helping humans and wildlife peacefully coexist — by building canopy bridges and reforesting urban areas to create safe passages for sloths.
