Sid's Move

In the previous post I included a shot of Sid, a Linnaeus's (Linnie's) two-toed sloth, being carried by a keeper. Here's more of the story.

There's a shelter in the yard where there is sometimes a sloth,  capybaras, or other animals. There's a sloth basket just under the roof. When I arrived, Sid had made his way to a front post of the shelter, near the fence.

Sid shinnies down the post.

From here he can reach the fence.

Sid makes his way along the fence.

He was not supposed to do that, so a keeper hung him back up. His basket is at the top left.

Sid makes his way to the other post near the fence.

Sid reaches for the fence.

Sid clambers along the fence.

 

Sloths are not made for the ground.

A different keeper--the one in the previous post--came out to hang Sid up again. She wasn't sure why he was doing this. His food had been changed, and he liked it, so maybe he was trying to go inside to get some.
