Have you ever seen this? 👀 Sloths usually come down to the ground once a week to poop at the base of trees, but recently, we've started receiving reports of sloths living in a river in the South Caribbean of Costa Rica defecating directly into the water. Thanks to @puertoviejotours_cr for this amazing footage and for documenting such a unique behavior! . . #sloth #fun #costarica #toilet | The Sloth Conservation Foundation

When pooping is an epic journey 🦥💩 Sloths are known for their bizarre toilet habits: once a week, they climb down to the ground to defecate at the base of trees. This requires a lot of energy (which they don’t have much of) and leaves them vulnerable. So why do they do it? Visit our website to learn more about sloths, and make a gift to help us continue our research and conservation projects to protect sloths in the wild (so they can poop in peace!). #SlothFact #Sloth #Biology #Fun | The Sloth
