Sloths Move So Slowly That Algae Grows on their Coats | Animalogic Wild

Sloths hold their arms open as a DEFENSIVE posture! This is them warning you to stand back as you are stressing them out. As solitary prey animals, they DO NOT like to be touched or held. We often hear or see videos of people too close to wild sloths and when they do this posture people think they are asking for a hug! Make sure to always be respectful and reaponisble and keep a 3 meter diatance. #Sloths #ResponsibleTravel #ResponsibleTourism #Sloth #NotPets #slothsoftiktok #slothlover
