Baby Sloth Sanctuary In Costa Rica! | The Cute Show
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 жов 2011
- As soon as I heard about the Aviarios Del Caribe sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica I knew it would be perfect for the Cute Show. It's the world's only sloth orphanage, home to over a hundred very sleepy urchins whose lives have been saved by legendary sloth whisperer Judy Arroyo.
Sloths are fantastically weird animals, the junkies of the jungle who seem to spend their lives either nodding off or scratching and occasionally eating a bean or two before drifting back to what looks like a blissful sleep.
The babies are especially helpless and comical and I fell in love with them immediately. So I cut a few choice clips together to show my old colleague VBS UK producer Vida Toombs and Cute Show creator Amy Kellner and posted the video on my Vimeo page. To my surprise the clip went viral and was watched by a million people in a week. Clearly I was not alone in thinking that these animals had super squee powers. So here is my Cute Show about the sloths, the perfect prelude to a sneaky daytime nap.
If you fall for these animals like I did then you can join the sanctuary's volunteer programme. Trainee sloth wranglers get to feed the sloths and help exercise and potty train the babies. The sanctuary runs on donations and voluntary help so you can do your bit by helping these vulnerable creatures whose jungle home is being slowly destroyed by pesticides, sold off to US real estate agencies and sliced up by roads and power lines.

"Baby Sloth Wrangler" sound like the best job ever.
Yes
Goddamn I know right! I heard that and sent this vid to my brother and said her profession title is wrangler
I'd love that job!
I read a dodo article on how horrific this place is for the sloths here. These babies will never be released and they are being tortured in small cages and fed an improper diet. Many die horrific deaths.
Yes, Dodo article is titled "Famous Sloth Sanctuary Is A Nightmare For Animals, Ex-Workers Say".
If you really feel for these sloths then please go read it, people!
WHAT THE F THESE SLOTHS ARE FKING ADORABLE.
I'm a 21 year old man.
These things have single handedly turned me into a squealing twelve year old girl
+Jack Tucker Lol me too. Me being 21 matters little in the face of such cuteness.
+Jack Tucker I agree sloths are so cutie.
+Jack Tucker lol gay
+Jack Tucker i totally feel you
I understand how you feel lol
If the hippies had a mascot, sloths would be it.
Bianca Smith honestly
Bianca lmao
Or capybaras. lol
I am literally crying because of how cute they are

So am I.
Me too 😂😂😂

@@persephone2706 I just clicked on the link u gave us and OMG I almost died , the abuse and neglect of those poor sloths!!! The lies!!! The way they show things in these videos and to tourists making them think these sloths are well cared for and happy!!! While they're all suffering in little cages without their native trees and diet and without proper VETINARY CARE!!!
It's a disgrace and a sham!
Poor Ubu!!!!😰😨😫
And they say NONE of the $$$$ goes to the sloths and their welfare!!! OMG, gurl!!!
I can't believe this, it's so horrible!!!
These people are getting away with murder in the name of love!!!
Sanctuary, my ass, more like hell for these poor sloths who are often kidnapped, try to escape and are NEVER released back into the wild despite their capabilities!!
It is horror, all those sloths kept in tiny cages with no trees to climb on , no medical care, no freedom!!!
And the fundraising doesn't seem geared toward helping rehabilitate or release these poor sloths and allow them to live healthy lives!!!
This sanctuary, if u can call it that, is just a tourist attraction , using the animals to make $$$ for humans and in the meantime the poor sloths suffer greatly!!!
I am so sad but thank u for providing that link, more people need to know the truth so these poor sloths can get the help and the freedom and good healthcare they so rightly deserve!!!!!
😰😫😨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@carolinevictory1414 I'm so glad you took the time to go through the article. It's horrible. These people need to be in jail, honestly. There are in this for the money, and there is more than enough proof of neglect and abuse of these poor animals. The tourists never see the full "sanctuary" which is a disgrace to actual sanctuaries to call it one. They need to be shut down immediately. Unfortunately they are always featured in sloth videos from massive UA-cam or even nature television channels. These videos need to be deleted and replaced with ones that tell the real situation of the living conditions. As long as these videos exist, people will continue to flock to this horrible place and put money in these people's pockets.
@@persephone2706 These " people" are fucking monsters!!!
lmao sid the sloth looks like a true stoner
lmfaoooo
they all look like dtoners
A friend with weed is a friend indeed!
+Squishable “Squishy” Sloth but a friend with gold is the best I'm told
True
sloths look like their stoned.
Being incredibly stoned myself, this comment made me lose it with laughter. Thank you.
all they eat is them leaves and all they smoke is them herbs.
I bet ya sloths are really fast and are just messing with everyone.
Little Prankster Sonics.
Sonic The Sloth, now there's a comic I can get behind!
Conspiracy theory!!!!!
Hahahhaa wtf Man
They're smarter than people think!!!
THEYRE SO CUTE THOUGH AGHHHH
They look so damn happy and lazy all the time!
They're not. They're horribly abused here. It's a long read... At least just scroll all the way through to see the photos of the horrible conditions and injuries these sloths have and live in until they die. It's heartbreaking and disgusting. This place does a great job of hiding the truth about their "sanctuary."
www.thedodo.com/sloths-sanctuary-nightmare-1807794384.html
I have to say this 3 times they have been injured so if they fell out of the tree and not rescued that would die a in few minutes and if they saved them they would be living for about like 1 month so there good
@@persephone2706 I read the whole thing and it's horrific. These poor animals are being tortured. Please leave that link on other comments so as many people can know about this inhuman place as possible. Those poor babies don't have a chance.
@@ericbitzer5247 I've been trying to spread the word. It breaks my heart that this place has masqueraded as a sanctuary for so long.
@@persephone2706 I really think that it would help if you spread the link on a lot of comments. I'm horrified after reading the article.
0:38 he's like "sup dudes"
Suh dude
Lol😂😂😂
Eehh Suhhh dudd
😂😂😂😂😂
I know that looks cute and all, but this place is no sanctuary, it's a torture chamber for these poor animals.
This video is so precious. She's like a sloth mother, all she wants is their wellbeing. I'm gonna cry I love this so much
This place is a torture chamber for these poor animals!! Don't be fooled by the "sloth mother". These animals aren't even fed a proper diet and the adults are hoarded in small cages. Many are sick and injured with no veterinary care. Many die from neglect.
Krista sounds like she's on the verge of tears, she loves sloths that much.
Ok I've watched enough baby sloth videos. Time to do homework! Lol
there is never enough baby sloth videos haha XD
Me. XD
these little creatures just have the sweetest faces and personalities. i would happily give up my degree to move to costa rica and look after them for the rest of my life!
When humans aren't around, sloths smoke weed, that's a fact
actually koalas eat that shit all the time
You can tell at 0:35
I live in Costa Rica. I can testify that is true.
That's hilarious
takes em a day to roll up.....worth it tho.
I would definitely go to Costa Rica just for the sloths! 😆
The face they showed after "I love their sweet little faces" at 1:44. Oh my god. Best editing ever!
lmfao this dude giving 0 shits
0:36
Bob Saget so fucking true XD
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🐞🥰💝I love sloths and We/I especially give much gratitude for your care and support
-many blessings(as always!)🌈🌻

buttercup
atzenvsdude WHATAYATALKINABEET
He looks like dash in zootopia xD
Nygga is trippin
Awww! How could someone ever dislike this video? It's adorable I love these little sloths :3
Anything that spends its life chilling and smiling and eating plants and dangling from a tree gets my vote.
THEY LOOK SO HAPPY AND SATISFIED IT WARMS MY HEART
They are not happy and satisfied!! They are tortured!! This place is no sanctuary, it's a nightmare for the animals!!
i love how theyre always smiling
What is the exact address for this sanctuary? I need a wife and Delilah is looking damn fine.
+Noah Smith I take shits that look better than you
+Potato Chip Jones No, i'll pass
This is the best comment I've ever seen.
+NBA Encyclopedia well I do agree with you there, but his is TOO funny!!!!! 😂😂😂💖
OMG! I just read the article and this is horrible!!! The video features Delilah... but her behaviour is not so cute and funny anymore when you know that she is perfecly healthy and tryed to escape at least four times.
"One of those times she was eating on the top of a tree close to the cages and Judy sent the team again to cut down the tree (which is illegal also) to retrieve her, knowing the risk of death that the fall represented for Delilah."
They are absolutely awesome and sweet, they are so gentle
0:35 he is so chill xD
Zootopia got me wondering if sloths really are slow.
Lmaooo right
Yes they are actually
for real
Tru
Are you talking about the ending scene?
That woman has my dream job!
Omg! They are the sweetest beings on the planet. The most docile. Adorable souls.
very cute sloths but also those ladies fanatical sloth love is also super adorable
0:39 the most swagalicious sloth I have ever seen.
swagalictious is the perfect word. XD
What about me.
o-o and i thought vice was about drug lords and assassins
Sloth assassins.
:o
They kill with cuteness
o_o they are more stealthyer than Cthulhu french assasins
Yes, I have liked these animals for 25 years since seeing a documentary. Glad to see a nice home for sloth orphanage. Most unusual and unique critter, intelligent, easy going, happy, content,
Nice to see my friends just chilling
God Bless these people. I wish I could volunteer but sadly I am in another continent.
me to
Samuel Houston me too lol
Don’t Volunteer that would be horrible they kill sloths and put them in prison
You are welcome to visit Costa Rica. We will threat you like family :)
These sloths are so cute, they almost look like they are smiling. 😊 they are so lucky to have you take care of them, thank you for all you do. 🙏🏻😊❤️
This is my dream job!!! Sloths are my #1 favorite animal!!! I’m so happy this sanctuary exist!!! Be safe everyone!!
You do realize that at this sanctuary, they can't take care of all the sloths? They abuse these innocent creatures and still get away with it. They haven't denied any claims from 2016 that they don't take care of them. For example, they don't give them the correct diet, don't give them their space, after they've grown-up, don't let them back into the wild, then they don't cut their nails so they don't start hurting their palms. There are lots more reasons why this place is not a safe or humane place to go to or even try working at. They had a sloth that escaped various times and they wouldn't just let her be free and live her life. They cut down the tree she was in just so they could lock her back into the tiny cage she is forced to live in. Just because one of them was covering her face and it looked "cute", you wouldn't immediately know that she wanted privacy since they don't give her any and because she's stressed out because of her tiny cage. You would see what's wrong with it once you'd start working there. I wouldn't recommend going to work there if you're gonna be led on by lies about what happens there.
Just so you don't call bull, here's the link to the article where they go over what really happens there.
www.thedodo.com/sloths-sanctuary-nightmare-1807794384.html?
Soft Person Stan: I wouldn’t call BS on you, several reasons why but I wouldn’t call BS!! I never said I would work @ this specific sanctuary just that sloths are my fav animal & working with them is my dream job. Thank you for the information!!! I want to know the truth about ANY & ALL places that care for animals!!! It’s crazy to think that all the ppl in the vid are ok with how the sloths are treated when they say they love sloths!!! You would think that @ least 1 person would say something or do something!! But then again the sanctuary would just remove that from the vid so either way the sloths are f*cked, which sucks!!! Thank you again for the information, I actually saw another person give the same link you did!! Be safe!!
I wanna be a sloth.
max pocker ayy lmao
*pokes you with majestic claw* there, you are now Slothified.
Squishable Sloth Thank you brother. May the powers of sloths be with you
***** THE DUCKS WILL DIE!!
***** WE MAY BE SLOW BUT WE ARE POWERFUL!!
I started crying they're so cute
I started crying when I read the dodo article and found out these poor animals are being tortured. This is not a sanctuary, it's a torture chamber. They're in tiny cages and fed an improper diet and don't get veterinary cave.
You what now?! A nearly 10 year old video showing this much awesome, has millions of views but not that many ' likes' ?!
I wish I could ' like ' this vid a million times over!
Sloths are just the ultimate in coolness!
Because this sanctuary was exposed for keeping sloths in absolutely terrible conditions. Dodo has an article about it, look it up
I just love them !!! Philadelphia USA
When I die, I wan't to return as a protected sloth!
When I die, burry me inside the sloth store -2 Chainz
Not at this " santuary'" don't!!! Sad, but true!!!
A recent publication by two vets who worked at the Sloth Sanctuary (graphic pictures) indicates that the Sloth Sanctuary is abusive, cruel, and inhumane, and that the sloths (clearly not the ones used in this video) are in a "living hell." The article is here: www.thedodo.com/sloths-sanctuary-nightmare-1807794384.html
this is so cruel! i hate animal crueltyit's insane and disgusting.
Actually, It's %100 real.
It wasnt fake. They have more then they are supposed to have. Which at times i can see that. But they dont get released and they keep more than a few in the bacl out of peoples eyes so you dont see what is going on. I wish it wasnt true. If they are not hurt or sick there is no reason for them to be released. The people that own is the cause and they work with the guy that owns sea world they are family. And he even got busted trying to briing one in to the country. There numbers are good its just there habbit like many others that are in danger and they need to figure out away so the animals can cross over to new habbitat without having to cross the road. There was talk of the goverment taking it over because of what they were doing. Theres another group that does release the animals husband and wife they seem to be ok. You never know as. Much as you want to help give money. Being that there pay is so low and so everything is expensive. To make money of this kind can be a scam for them selves.instead of 100 percent going to the animals
I love them as much as you all do i really hope the money and care gets to them instead of the owner. If they are health enough can be on there own they should be doing that. Instead of keeping them for tours and stays to keep making extra money.
Also go to the website where i saw this.
OMG!! CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!
They are so precious 💜💙🦥. Claire I want to be a sloth 🦥 wrangler . I can’t get enough of these precious babies . I love their little meeps 🙏🏻💜💙🦥
0:36 that sloth looks mega high right now
Poor Delilah covering her face has new meaning after reading the 'The Dodo' article linked in a comment below; She's perfectly healthy and has escaped multiple times but they keep bringing her back and locking her up in a tiny cage - one time they found her in a tree and actually cut it down to get her. Horrific.
I read the article!!! They did do that to her, she needs to live in the wild! These people are selfish and greedy and these sloths need a natural habitat and diet to fulfill their lives healthily!!!
These people are pathetic!!!
She should be returned to the wild, she's already demonstrated her capacity to return, these people are selfish and greedy!!!
The whole thing about a sanctuary is to help the sloths return to the wild, their natural habitat and diet!!! This place just hoards them!!!The few that can't be returned should get proper medical care and live as freely and close to nature as possible!!! This makes me cry...😰
I know it's been a few years, but I'm not sure how to link. Can you put that link in other comments so more people will be aware? I went from awwww how cute to sick to my stomach after reading that article.
Not sure if links aren't just treated as spam, but the name is "Famous Sloth Sanctuary Is A Nightmare For Animals, Ex-Workers Say" and it's by The Dodo
I think sloths have some sort of psychic power to make you fall in love with them. Thats how they can survive and be so slow, cause all the predators love them
Those sweet faces and the fact that they can smile!!! So adorable!!!
THEY ARE SO CUTE!
I'd love to work there! :) they're soooo cute
This is just the sweetest thing, what a lovely, caring woman!
Sloths are my favorite animal! They are sooo cute! And there faces just make me want to smile
this is all i needed to get ready for my job interview today ^^
I advise everyone to read the article about this place exposing the abuse that goes on here. It's truly disgusting.
@Kay Theo unfortunately, it has been proven true.
Whattttt 😱😱😱😱
I was looking for this comment and I'm glad it's already here.
Don't know if posting the link will do any good, but the title is "Famous Sloth Sanctuary Is A Nightmare For Animals, Ex-Workers Say" and it's by The Dodo.
I could watch sloth videos all day😂 I still can't believe they are even real. They are the cutest most darling little creatures. I would give anything to hold one!
Claire is an angel to me. I just love sloths.
0:35 when your mum walks in the room and you try and act normal
these Ewoks are so adorable!
every time i go through a stream of depressing, feely videos. i watch videos of baby sloths for a while and everything is good.
I can tell by your Profile Lol
if I fail at my dreams, at the end of the day I know I could still be happy. because this job is an actual thing
Mi infancia ;__;
Extraño a todos mis compañeros de la vieja escuela.
an animal with 5 inch claws that doesn't seem remotely frightening? sloths are wizards.
Oh my god I think I must be jealous of these ladies. I am almost in tears because it looks like heaven for anyone remotely maternal.
I love their smiles!
Where they work at looks so cool xD the surroundings look amazing
Costa Rica
i love them
They have such cute sloths especially the babies with their big eyes
My cuteness algorithm is detecting a cuteness overload.
That's it I'm going to Costa Rica
0:36 when you hit the blunt too hard
I can see how you want to be with these sweet creatures all the time. ❤
Oh how adorable! How sweeeet!❤💜💖💖
Lol i want to work there and get high with the sloths
The damn thumbnail of the sloth's face keep showing in my home page so every time I come to youtube for something TOTALLY DIFFERENT I have to watch this vid and can't stop! ;___;
I donated to this foundation and I'm so glad I did, these people do a fantastic job!
haha those things are too cute. they're a little weird at the same time, nut super cute as well. All slow animals are cute. these, koalas. mad cute
Instead of having one wish to Shenron forced to choose among world peace, no government corruption, equal distribution of wealth, legalized weed, no poverty, and no crime; I could just wish instead that we all turn into sloths because it solves all of those problems at once.
1:36 is out of a horror movie
0:35 he looks so happy!!! Omg he's happier than a lot of people! Gosh I'm in love
Happiest animals on earth by far.😁
i want a sloth!!!!!!!!!
They are like the stoners of the animal kingdom haha!
one of the most adorable animals on the planet :-)
I can't help to smile everytime I see them
now that I think about it sloths look like they have smoked a bowl of weed
haha these people are saints
omg!!!!!!! if I had one of those at home, I would never be able to go to work. Thanks for making a difference in their lives.
Feels like this video is sped up. Sloths really actively and lively, unlike what I've seen elsewhere, where they are often ultra slow. : P
108 people have no soul
107 now, one stole it back and watched this video again
***** They have no soul and they're all asshole......
Those people probably know the truth about this terrible place
No they just hate this center in particular because they have heard/read bad things about it. Not because they hate animals
The sloths are getting abused here. Read the article about their nightmarish sanctuary.
I thought sloths is slow. Because I saw Zootopia trailer
They are!
Wow what a great job and what a great lady. My mom and my brother went to Costa Rica last week and all I got was a lousy tote bag when all I wanted was to visit the baby sloths. But I did not go to Costa Rica with my family. I probably wouldn't come back anyway I was stay with the animals.
THEY ARE THE CUTEST ANIMALS ON EARTH
I'M NOT KIDDING!
Stoners!
>Wants a sloth.
my heart melted😍😥❤
I love them💗💕💗they are so precious😘💕😍
I wanna slow dance with a sloth.
