Sam Trull is the co-founder of The Sloth Institute Costa Rica, where she has been doing everything she can to help rescue and take care of baby sloths before releasing them back into the wild.

After founding the institute in 2013, she has been looking after baby sloths who were unable to learn primary survival skills due to losing their mothers.

Because of this, releasing them into the wild is difficult due to the fear of something happening to them.

But, Sam is determined to make sure they know everything they need to know before they go and enjoy life on their own.

1. As a fan of the Slow loris over the Sloth, let me say, the Sloth Institute, was a long time coming.

3. There's much to be said for both the Slow loris and the Sloth, but it would take too long to say it
