<font color=green>You can see the famous, slow metabolism driven sloth in the tree top late at night looking like a badly matted wet blanket or if you are really lucky you stay at a hotel (The Mono Azul Hotel in Manual Antonio), where a baby sloth adandonned by its mother is being raised. Meet Buddy. He is adorable. His permanently fixed smile is so endearing. However, the sloth is by nature a solitary animal who prefers his own tree top nest. Even though what is written on his face does not represent what is encoded in his genes or lives in his heart, he is still one cute little guy.</font>
