Touching Moment When A Mother Sloth Is Reunited With Her Baby Who Fell Out Of Tree (Video)

One day, a member of the Costa Rican Jaguar Rescue Center team was on the beach investigating a tip about an injured animal. He was about to go back to the center when, over the sound of the waves, he heard a baby wailing and then noticed the infant sloth on the sand.

The team at Jaguar Rescue Center checked out the baby sloth to make sure he wasn't injured from the fall. He seemed OK, just a little weak, so they gave him some fluids and time to rest. They determined he was only a few weeks old based on his size, and quickly began formulating a plan to reunite him with his mom. First, they recorded the baby sloth crying, then went back to the beach with a speaker. They played the baby's cry and waited until the mama sloth noticed and started to make her way back down the tree. That's when they brought the baby back to the beach for the reunion.
