Hi, Sloth TV fans!
I thought it might be nice to pop in and write our Sloth TV viewers! A quick introduction: My name is Zara, and I am one of the people behind the camera at Toucan Rescue Ranch. I have been a part of TRR for a long time and have been fortunate enough to help transform TRR into the place you all have grown to love today!
Before I get too far into my note, I have a cute story! Did you know I actually started Sloth TV in 2015!? Yup, I used a webcam and everything! I would arrive every morning. Set up the porch, get the sloths all happy with leaves and fun things to climb on, and then strap a webcam to the back of a rocking chair. I would stream it on YouTube with Leslie's home Wi-Fi (talk about sloth slowness). Sloth TV truly comes from humble beginnings. Seeing it come alive on such an incredible platform as explore.org has been a dream come true! If you scroll enough, you can find some of those original Sloth TV recordings on our YouTube page!
As I have watched Sloth TV grow with explore.org, my team and I have developed those lovely featured comments we pin at the top of our page. And, of course, we read your comments!
As someone who has been doing this work for a long time, I know how upsetting it is to lose an animal you have fallen in love with. I have been telling these stories for years for Toucan Rescue Ranch, and it never is easy.
As the person in charge of our communications, marketing, and storytelling, I often tell my tiny super team to focus on telling the core of our mission - to rescue, rehabilitate, and rewild animals. But equally as important, it is to educate the world about our work. We are a rescue center and quickly turning into a critical care hospital. As a result, we receive extremely sick animals and, consequently, deal with death. That is the nature of our work and the sad reality of our field.
We bear the crucial task of being a voice for the voiceless, and through our various platforms, we have an opportunity to shed light on the plight of wildlife rescue and conservation. It is true that if we do not share both sides of our work, life and death, we only tell one side of the story. It's incredible to witness how harrowing stories have ignited people to want to be a part of positive change.
My policy has always been honesty and transparency - because of this, we have, through the years, developed the incredible community we have today. TRR has always been a nonprofit open to sharing and involving our community and supporters in our efforts. In a big way, it differentiates us from others.
Sloth TV on explore.org is very much a part of our storytelling. We are always so impressed by our viewers - whether that be your attention to detail, support, ideas, and compassion toward the animals we fight for. It has been fantastic to get to know you and watch your love for sloths grow. As a free online streaming service, we understand if you need to take a break from watching Sloth TV - it can feel heavy losing a favorite.
With that said, TRR will continue to be here, working tirelessly for these animals. I promise to continue to share their stories. And we will always be honest and transparent with what happens along the way.
I ask that the Sloth TV community continues to be a space for positivity, supportiveness, and compassion as we welcome 2023. Please continue to have room in your hearts for the newcomers that will arrive and those that will leave us too soon. And finally, to understand the nature of our work and remain supportive of our team and the animals.
With much love,
Zara Palmer
Marketing Manager

Toucan Rescue Ranch update
NEW ARRIVALS:
Liana the two-fingered sloth: She was found on top of her mom, who passed away. MINAE (Wildlife police) brought her to our Release Site. She was transferred to our Headquarters, where she will be as part of our Saving Sloth Together Program to be eventually released. She has been eating well and doing great.
Sloth Pre-School Updates:
Geo the two-fingered sloth: he is doing good, he didn't have an appetite, but now he is getting better, growing and gaining weight.
Landon the two-fingered sloth: he is strong and healthy as always. He has been eating more solid food lately.
Coco the two-fingered sloth:she is doing great, eating well, and gaining weight!
Belen the two-fingered sloth:She has been with diarrhea, but she is a fighter and doing her best to get better. She is now having nebulizations.
Robin the three-fingered sloth: He is good, eating leaves and milk. He has been with a good appetite.
Pax the two-fingered sloth: He is pretty well and active. Eating leaves and milk.
Noemi the three-fingered sloth: It’s been hard to make her eat, but she is active and doing good.
Sloth Graduation Update:
Holly the two-fingered sloth: she is good, eating a lot and exercising. She is improving greatly, gaining weight, and being very active at night.
In Loving Memory:
Pistachio: We are sad to share that Pistachio has passed away. We noticed a decay in his condition. And, despite our efforts to stabilize him, he didn’t make it. The necropsy results show that he had malformations on his skull and vertebrae that were incompatible with life.
Our team will never forget Pistachio and the many great memories he gave us.
A friendly reminder: If you have any suggestions or questions about our operations, explore.org cameras, or programs, please email [email protected] or [email protected]. We'd like you to keep our WhatsApp line open for our receptionist to attend to our daily operations. Thank you, and happy viewing!

TRR ROBIN - unable to climb
Male | Small | Baby
San Josecito, Heredia
(https://cuddly-s3.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/pets/small/4918848-16762308119876.jpg)
Many of our followers might already know Robin, the Brown-throated three-fingered sloth.
Today, we are sharing his story. The wildlife police brought this lovely guy in December 2022 as a tiny orphan, still with his umbilical cord around his arm. During his first weeks, he received nebulization treatment after showing up signs of pneumonia. Thankfully, his lungs got better with time.
He has been under our care for a few months now. As he grew up, our Vet team noticed Robin had some anomalies on his fingers and feet. After doing x-rays, they confirmed he has several congenital malformations that affect his mobility. Due to this, it is difficult for him to open and close his claws properly. Sadly, this makes Robin unable to climb as a normal sloth would.
Because of Robin’s condition, our Vet team has determined that the best for him is to stay in our sanctuary as a permanent resident. Here, we will give him everything he needs to have a happy and healthy life.
You can help us care for Robin as he grows up. By donating, you will be helping us to cover the costs of his treatment, food, and general care.
(1) Medical/Medicines: X-ray, bloodwork, nebulization.
(2) General Support: bucket for handling; wild leave transport costs; heading pats, goat’s milk, blankets.

Pele, a three-fingered sloth: arrived as an orphan baby. She likes different kinds of leaves. Ficus leaves are her favorites!
Sloth Pre-School Updates:
Geo, the two-fingered sloth: Is climbing more and being more active after he finishes his treatment. We are happy to see him feeling better.
Coco, the two-fingered sloth: She is doing great. She can’t be far from Geo, as usual.
Landon, the two-fingered sloth: He’s doing great. He will spend more time practicing his climbing skills in our rehabilitation areas.
Robin, the three-fingered sloth: Started physical therapy. We’re giving him daily massages and making sure he practices climbing constantly. We hope this will improve his mobility.
Pax, the two-fingered sloth: He is growing and gaining weight.
Liana, the two-fingered sloth: She is doing great, growing and gaining weight as well. She and Pax like to play and explore!
Roo: He is almost ready to get out of the incubator; we'll keep him a little more to ensure he’s stable.
In Loving Memory:
We are sad to share that these babies did not make it.
Tigger: has passed away due to necrotic intestines from the electrocution.
Kanga: has passed away due to a cardiorespiratory failure.

REWILDING ANNOUNCEMENT:
Zuko, a three-fingered sloth, arrived due to electrocution and will be released on March 14. He is from the north of Costa Rica! He will be driven to a wildlife ranger's office to be reintroduced into the wild in a familiar habitat.
NEW ARRIVALS:
Ziggy, a three-fingered sloth, was found alone in an area without trees or food and probably got lost. He was dehydrated and hungry, but he is eating well.
Sloth Pre-School Updates:
Geo, 2F Sloth: doing good, eating well, and gaining weight
Coco, 2F Sloth, and her friend Geo, the two-fingered sloth, are doing great.
Landon, 2F Sloth: Landon has been struggling lately but is improving with treatment. At the moment, he is under vet supervision. As you’ve noticed, he has been having bubbles and foam coming out of his mouth due to minor ulcers. Our vet team is investigating what could be causing this. Not to worry, he is still eating, and his response to treatment is favorable.
Pax & Liana, 2F Sloths: are doing well and receiving treatment. They both are under vet supervision due to the same symptoms we are experiencing with Landon. They both are responding well to treatment.
Roo, 2F Sloth: Too is doing well! He is exploring and eating well. We are happy with his progress.
Robin, 3F Sloth: he is doing fine and receiving physical therapy for a better quality of life.
In Loving Memory - We are sad these babies did not make it due to different issues. :'(
Pele, a three-fingered sloth: has passed away from stomach torsion.
Shanit, a three-fingered sloth: has passed away due to pneumonia.
A friendly reminder: We are a critical care facility - Even though you do not see this on camera, the animals are under 24/7 vet care.
PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE FROM OUR ANIMAL CARE STAFF:
Toucan Rescue Ranch has always been incredibly thoughtful and meticulous about the animals we announce to the world. The animals you see at our center are all rescues - usually from severe circumstances such as traffic accidents, electrocution from power lines, the illegal pet trade (suffering from malnutrition, abuse, and so forth), and other problems such as deforestation. With all this in mind, everyone must understand that each animal in our care is recovering from said incidents.
When you are watching Sloth Preschool, you are watching animals who are in a nursery hospital. All sloths are undergoing treatment and are under 24/7 care. Many orphans we care for may have lung issues and underdeveloped organs; the list is exhaustive. All cases require a veterinarian and a detailed treatment plan based on their condition.
That said, we have always had a rule only to announce animals once we know they are stable. However, the difference between Explore.org and Sloth TV is that you get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at animals, sometimes in intensive care. So, sadly, due to this, we may experience an animal's death - even doing everything in our absolute power to save them. Sometimes nature has another plan in store.

The next day we received information that Ziggy went all the way to the top of the tree. He is eating fresh leaves and enjoying the view from the top of the tree.
NEW ARRIVALS:
Alma, 2F Sloth: came from Bijagua. Her mom rejected her twice. Park rangers couldn't bring it to us because they didn't have a car at the moment, so our husbandry intern and vet supervisor volunteered and went to pick her up.

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE FROM OUR ANIMAL CARE STAFF:
Toucan Rescue Ranch has always been incredibly thoughtful and meticulous about the animals we announce to the world. The animals you see at our center are all rescues - usually from severe circumstances such as traffic accidents, electrocution from power lines, the illegal pet trade (suffering from malnutrition, abuse, and so forth), and other problems such as deforestation. With all this in mind, everyone must understand that each animal in our care is recovering from said incidents.
When you are watching Sloth Preschool, you are watching animals who are in a nursery hospital. All sloths are undergoing treatment and are under 24/7 care. Many orphans we care for may have lung issues and underdeveloped organs; the list is exhaustive. All cases require a veterinarian and a detailed treatment plan based on their condition.
That said, we have always had a rule only to announce animals once we know they are stable. However, the difference between Explore.org and Sloth TV is that you get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at animals, sometimes in intensive care. So, sadly, due to this, we may experience an animal's death - even doing everything in our absolute power to save them. Sometimes nature has another plan in store.
Robin getting stronger everyday :-*

Coco, 2F Sloth: She's graduated and is now hanging out with Pax, Liana, Landon, and Noodle at the Sloth House!
In Loving Memory :'(
Geo, 2F Sloths: We are very sad to announce that Geo has passed away. He had a unique syndrome called Malabsorption Syndrome. This digestive disorder prevented Geo from absorbing nutrients and inhibited him from developing and growing. This explains why he was not increasing in size despite having an appetite.
Jeannie, 3F Sloth: She sadly passed away due to severe anemia and blood clots in her heart and liver.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Robin, a beloved three-fingered sloth. Robin succumbed to his condition despite our best efforts to ensure his comfort and quality of life.
Robin's malformations have had a significant impact on his heart, kidney, and liver, greatly diminishing his chances of reaching adulthood. To further comprehend Robin's condition, we are conducting an extensive biopsy report. This research aims to shed light on the prevalent malformations observed in these crucial organs. By delving into Robin's case, we aspire to acquire a comprehensive understanding of his condition and its implications. This knowledge will be invaluable in our ongoing research within the Saving Sloths Together program.
Throughout Robin's time with us, we strived to provide him with the best care possible, cherishing every moment we had with him. We are proud to have given him a fighting chance at life, whereas he would not have survived in the wild for more than a few days.
His memory will forever remain in our hearts, and we will continue our commitment to preserving and protecting these incredible creatures.

Reminder to all viewers:
We are a wildlife rescue center, which means ALL of the animals you enjoy on our explore.org cameras are rescued from various serious situations - whether that be electrocution, car accidents, domestic animal attacks, illegal pet trade, the loss of habitat, etc. We keep an important message at the end of all of our updates from our dedicated animal care staff to remind new and old viewers alike of the nature of our work.
We want to reiterate with the passing of Robin that we look to the explore.org community to maintain grace and compassion towards not only the animals, but our staff, who are fighting daily to keep them alive. We have been doing this for nearly two decades and know, at a very intimate level, how hard it can be to lose an animal. What you do not see is the 24/7 care we provide to give each individual a fighting chance at life.
You are all witnessing a unique, private, and behind-the-scenes look at what it takes mentally, emotionally, and physically to rescue, rehabilitate, and rewild injured wildlife. This job is not easy and is arguably some of the world's most challenging work. As we continue to show up for these animals and nature, we all cope differently with the emotional impact of this job - Please remember this when sharing and commenting within this community.
"Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future." - Nelson Mandela
May we keep Robin and the many animals who have come through our care in our hearts and minds.
💗From all of us at Toucan Rescue Ranch

It was very bittersweet seeing the babies we have lost on 60 minutes. Millie as well, she looked so beautiful.
RIP Millie, Landon, Teddy :'(
Millie was such a gorgeous sloth, her beautiful round face and cute nose, and her flowing mane, she was perfect ❤️ She really lit up the screen here 🦥 Landon had some wonderful closeups too, and Teddy was a star 💜💚 And seeing Nosara released and so big was wonderful!
I hope that TRR will receive some extra support from the recent media exposure.
The nursery cats are Puma & Nala (white with black & brown)... There is also a third cat... Quincy is darker and bigger than Puma.
Nala :-*

Donate & Support Rescued Sloths:
In 2017, Toucan Rescue Ranch and The Sloth Institute Costa Rica came together to form Saving Sloths Together (SST), a Costa Rica-wide project seeking greater opportunities for sloths in need. By combining each organization’s skills and knowledge, we can improve the sloth rescue, rehabilitation, and release process in Costa Rica. This alliance utilizes scientific expertise, dedication, passion, and decades of experience to provide the best program for every sloth needing help gaining a second chance at a life in the wild.
Why do Sloths Need Your Help?
Sloths at Toucan Rescue Ranch are rescued for various reasons. Common rescues include electrocution from powerlines, car accidents, dog attacks, and human encroachment, such as deforestation and the illegal pet trade. Often, orphans suffer from injuries and the loss of their mothers from such accidents. Babies are usually found abandoned by their mothers for unknown reasons (likely the mother was involved in a casualty).
A unique component of the SST program is the ability to take a hand-raised, orphaned sloth and give it a second chance at being wild. The concept of releasing captive-raised sloths back into the wild is a feat that has rarely been done with success. However, this program’s combined expertise and resources have proved that sloths don’t belong in cages but #backinthetrees because they were all #borntobewild.
Help the Saving Sloths Together Program:
Donating to the 8th Annual Sloth Ironman Games will directly support the rescue, rehab, and rewilding of orphaned sloths at Toucan Rescue Ranch! All donations are tax-deductible.

Sloth Preschool Updates:
Ken, 2F Sloth: We are still monitoring him, but he is doing great! He is growing fast and staying active.
Elmo, 2F Sloth: He is showing signs of anemia and not gaining appropriate weight. We are providing treatment and monitoring him closely.
NEW ARRIVALS:
Binx, 2F Sloth: Binx arrived to us in surprisingly great shape after being found with her deceased mother. We are carefully monitoring her, but so far she has been very active and has a great appetite.
Frankie, 2F Sloth: Frankie was found as an orphan. Despite being on her own for a few days, she is currently in stable condition. She is maintaining a healthy weight and is relatively active.
Grover, 2F Sloth: Grover is a premature baby who was found abandoned and alone on the ground. He only weighs 380 grams, so he spends most of his time in an incubator, but you might catch an occasional glimpse of him on the porch during feedings.
GRADUATION:
Roo, 2F Sloth: Roo is doing great! Stable and maintaining a healthy weight. Active as always.
Myrtle, 2F Sloth: Myrtle is as spunky as ever! She is active and keeps her caretakers on their toes. She is almost ready for Sloth University!
IN LOVING MEMORY:
Nara, 3F Sloth: Our sweet Nara caught a serious case of pneumonia, and after a few days of being monitored around the clock, she sadly slipped away from us. We are devastated. We know you all love Nara as much as we do, and it breaks our hearts every time we have to share an update like this.
Newbie
Phoenix, 2F Sloth: Phoenix was abandoned by his mother. We suspect he has some vision issues, but more testing needs to be done to determine his level of sight. So far he has been in stable condition, eating well and gaining weight.

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE FROM OUR ANIMAL CARE STAFF:
Toucan Rescue Ranch has always been incredibly thoughtful and meticulous about the animals we announce to the world. The animals you see at our center are all rescues - usually from severe circumstances such as traffic accidents, electrocution from power lines, the illegal pet trade (suffering from malnutrition, abuse, and so forth), and other problems such as deforestation. With all this in mind, everyone must understand that each animal in our care is recovering from said incidents.
When you are watching Sloth Preschool, you are watching animals who are in a nursery hospital. All sloths are undergoing treatment and are under 24/7 care. Many orphans we care for may have lung issues and underdeveloped organs; the list is exhaustive. All cases require a veterinarian and a detailed treatment plan based on their condition.
That said, we have always had a rule only to announce animals once we know they are stable. However, the difference between Explore.org and Sloth TV is that you get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at animals, sometimes in intensive care. So, sadly, due to this, we may experience an animal's death - even doing everything in our absolute power to save them. Sometimes, nature has another plan in store.

Parker tries to chase the squirrels off when he sees them, but doesn't do much to the rat. The squirrels eat a few pieces then leave, and there are almost always leftovers at the end of the day. But the rat parked itself and ate for 20 minutes, so he may find himself eaten out of house and home if he continues to allow it. :-\

🦥Sloth Preschool Update:
Moose, two-fingered sloth: Under 500 grams, seems to be adjusting well to his diet (goat's milk) and gaining weight.
Mimi, two-fingered sloth: The vet team had to amputate her hand until wrist level to prevent the risk of infection. She has the most reserved prognosis and hasn’t been gaining weight. Hopefully, it will start to perk up after the surgery.
Grover, two-fingered sloth: The wound on his leg is nearly healed. We have left it without a bandage, so the injury is ventilated.
Binx, two-fingered sloth: Seems stable, eating well, and gaining weight; we are closely monitoring her bathroom breaks.
Elmo, two-fingered sloth: Although he has progressed, he still has anemia and is getting weekly iron and cholesterol, closely monitoring his bloodwork.
Ken, two-fingered sloth: He will be moved to Sloth Elementary for the next stage of his rehabilitation process.
🎓Sloth University Update:
Coco, two-fingered sloth: In one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures, consistently eating the most. Coco is likely the next sloth to be released.
Pax, two-fingered sloth: Pax needs to gain more weight before release in one of our largest sloth pre-release enclosures.
Myrtle & Spike, two-fingered sloths: Neck and neck in weight, competing to see who will be next to go to the pre-release enclosure. We are getting ready for one of them.
Liana, two-fingered sloth: Stable but still too small to move to a bigger enclosure.
Antonio, two-fingered sloth: Our smallest graduate, but growing well. We just increased his leaf amount. All the other sloths are offered the same amount except for Antonio, who’s working hard to catch up.
🥀In Loving Memory:
Cajeta, three-fingered sloth: We are sorry to deliver the heavy news that Cajeta died of chronic pneumonia. This is a common issue TRR sees with orphaned three-fingered sloths.
A friendly reminder: We are a critical care facility - Even though you do not see this on camera, the animals are under 24/7 vet care.

NEW ARRIVAL:
Meet S’mores the juvenile Spectacled Owl!
🌵 A familiar story for young owls just learning how to fly, S’mores was found tangled in a barbed wire fence in the Limón Province of Costa Rica. Unable to escape, he was rescued by MINAE and brought to us for treatment of a wing injury.
🦉 Thankfully, the injuries S’mores had sustained were not significant and he breezed through his treatments in less than a month. He has since been moved to the Release Site where he is flying well and on track to be rewilded. Once we observe him hunting successfully, he will be #backinthetrees!
🎁 Looking for a last minute gift for a bird lover? Imagine S’mores under the tree this holiday season! Well, not physically–Symbolic Adoptions sponsor the overall care of an animal at TRR for one year!
💚 While wild animals are #notpets, you will receive recognition as being the adopter on our website and social media platforms, as well as an adoption package full of goodies! For more information, visit: https://bit.ly/TRRAdoptions
