“Sloth Dilemma”
Suzi Eszterhas documented this awkward meeting between a brown-throated sloth and a dog in Costa Rica. Though the sloth may have been scared, they likely had nothing to worry about, as the dog was part of a sloth-safety training program run by the Sloth Conservation Foundation and simply sniffed it. Sadly, sloths in Costa Rice and elsewhere are facing serious threats to their population due to habitat loss.
