Three-Toed Sloth

Last night a couple here brought back a three-toed sloth that they found in the middle of the road and thought may be hurt. It was the strangest looking little animal, cute in a way, but with claws that look like they could rip your face off. She was a really sweet little thing that just hung peacefully on a little dowel. They later took her back into the jungle and let her go - she ran off, so hopefully she wasn't hurt afterall.
I would like to include a picture, as I'm sure my description does not do it justice, but we unfortunately left our camera out in the rain the other night. We have decided that we will never again own electronics that are not waterproof as long as we are on the boat. Fortunately we have a new waterproof video camera coming, which we ordered prior to this fiasco.
