There is concern about the decline of the two-toed sloth population (Choloepus hoffmanni) in recent years. Because of the challenges these cute animals face in their native environments, the Jaguar Rescue Center has taken action to understand how they reproduce. Our goal is to learn more about sloths' reproductive biology so we may start breeding them successfully in captivity. This study was done with permits from the Ministry of Energy and Environment (MINAE) and the National Commission fo...

Among the branches of lush tropical landscapes, where time appears to slow down, lives a fascinating animal that has come to represent peace: the sloth. With the increasing attraction of witnessing these fascinating creatures in their environment, the idea of eco-friendly travel and responsible sloth viewing becomes essential. We explore the world of these slow-moving marvels and the fine line that separates ecological protection from human curiosity.

Declines in wildlife species and individual populations in recent years have caused alarm and highlighted the urgent need for innovative conservation strategies. In this context, wildlife rescue centers are critical nodes in the fight to protect biodiversity. In November, we published a study introducing the Speaker Method, a novel release technique for rescuing and reuniting mammal offspring with their mothers in their natural habitat. Traditional methods often involve keeping animals in captiv...

The sloth is the star of a fantastic ecological dance that takes place high up in the tree canopy of the lush rainforests of Central and South America. Beyond their methodical and leisurely motions, these animals have intriguing connections with moths and algae that highlight the complex interactions found in nature.
