Did you know that sloths cannot walk and use their arms to drag their bodies?
...Or that one three-fingered sloth species can turn their head 300 degrees?
...Or that three-fingered sloths are excellent swimmers, moving faster in water than on land!
...Or that they only poop once a week!
...Or that all mammals have 7 cervical vertebrae except for the two-fingered sloth, the three-fingered sloth and the manatee!
WOW!
Sloths are extremely unique and adorable slow-moving animals. There are two species of sloths, Bradypus (three-fingered sloth) and the Choloepus (two-fingered sloth) classified into 6 species. Although similar looking to those unfamiliar with the animal, these two sloths are vastly different in biological characteristics and behavior.
The Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica has pioneered sloth research, education and rehabilitation, and is the world's only sloth sanctuary! Here at Little Critterz, we support those animal advocates who champion awareness and care for the world's diverse animals.
It's your lucky day... We have decided to donate to The Sloth Sanctuary and want to give YOU a FREE Sloth Sanctuary 'Keep Calm and Hang On' tee-shirt and magnet!
To enter, simply tell us why you love sloths. It could be because of Kristen Bell's sloth meltdown, viewing this sloth crossing a road to I Believe I Can Fly video, or perhaps it's a because of a personal experience. Whatever the reason you love sloths, we believe you! We do too! Share it with us!
Please visit our Facebook page to enter the contest. The winner will be notified on Facebook and asked to email us with their shirt size and mailing address.
We have decided to create this contest to donate to the foundation while spreading awareness of the The Sloth Sanctuary and their work. If you do not win, please consider donating to the foundation on your own. Or perhaps a visit to the sanctuary in Costa Rica is on order? I know right, twist your arm!
The tee-shirt and magnet can also be acquired with a $60 donation to the Sloth Sanctuary. You can view the tee-shirt and magnet by visiting their website.
