Sloths smell like the jungle. And it makes perfect sense: they don’t have body odor because camouflage is not only visual. Sloths blend into the rainforest in every way. They smell like moss, leaves, bark, and soil after the rain. Their fur hosts microbes, algae, fungi, and moths that help mask their scent in the forest. Another clever strategy to avoid predators.

How does a sloth hide in plain sight? 🌳🦥 The three-toed sloth carries its own camouflage: algae growing in its fur. In return, bugs and other tiny creatures find shelter there, forming a miniature ecosystem high in the treetops. It’s a quiet reminder of the harmony God wove into creation. | Creation Sabbath

Rescued sloths aren’t usually given baths, but poor Matteo here arrived at this rescue centre with an irritating skin condition. The bath is a mixture of leaves and tea, which will help to keep his skin and fur healthy and parasite free! Afterwards, he’ll be 'hung up' on the jungle gym to drip-dry, and rewarded with a sweet, flower-y treat!🛁🌺 You can meet more adorable, orphaned fluff-balls like Matteo in our official Sloths 2020 calendars.
