Heartbroken mother sloth is happy to reunite with her missing baby
Because of the recent wildfires in Bolivia, many animals living in the affected areas have been forced to move to a safer place. Among the escaped animals was a sloth mother, who on the way was frightened by dogs and dropped her cub. Little sloth got lost.
Earlier this month, veterinarian Marco Greminger received a call about a baby sloth found all alone near Trinidad.
Greminger managed to find the probable mother of the baby. She hid in a tree and waited for a miracle that her baby would be found. The veterinarian and two animal rescuers put the cub near the tree where his mother was hiding…
Watch what happened next:
“Mothers remain mothers no matter they are animals or people. The loss of a child is a great grief for any mother’s heart,” Greminger later wrote.
After a touching reunion, mother and child were taken to the clinic for assessment and recuperation.
