When orphaned baby sloths are hungry or adults lose their habitat, Yiscel Yángüez and Néstor Correa are on the case. They run an animal rescue center in Gamboa, Panama, and specialize in sloth rehabilitation and relocation. For the two of them, releasing healthy sloths back into the wild can be a bittersweet experience.

  1. It warms my heart to know that there are people out there patiently looking after these animals in the way that's best for the animals themselves. It can be tempting to see other animals as things there for our own entertainment, or to make us feel good. But they are beings in their own right with their own needs. And I can see how selflessly this couple tend to these rescue sloths' needs. God bless.

  2. Wow never realized how aggressive they can be. Well I guess it makes sense they have to be. But yea that was a bad spot for that sloth to be. Glad they relocated it.

  3. They have high anxiety and it's proven they die very young in captivity.

    When a sloth holds tight to people at certain facilities its because they are having anxiety
    Also as said in video are depressed

    I admire this couple for what they are doing and that is setting them free after they care for them

    Bless them

  4. People who have the heart for animals like these people are so honorable. Many blessings to them…and the cute baby sloths. ☺️
