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.

It took almost two hours of waiting at the bottom of the tree with the baby sloth, but finally, his mom was close enough to pull him back into her arms again, and everyone there quickly got emotional watching the sweet reunion. "When she grabbed him, we could tell she missed her baby so much and was grateful to have him back," Noelia said. "It was an emotional moment for all of us, and we hope this mom and baby do stay safe. It melts our hearts every time we can witness the reunion of a mom and her baby."
