Baby Sloth

Benito Guindon rescued a baby sloth a few days ago when it was being attacked by another animal. He is nursing it back to health, though he has heard that adopted sloths often do not do well; they develop respiratory problems from being around humans. The sloth sustained damage to her face, and her nose and both eyes became infected. She is taking a bottle now, but no solid food. Benito takes her everywhere with him, like you would any baby, so we got to meet her at Meeting on Sunday. In one of the pictures below, you can see Lucky and Wolf Guindon on the far right in the background. I had fun teasing Lucky about her new "granddaughter."
