## Caption

Photo by Juan Arredondo juanarre / Rescued four-month-old two-toed sloths climb out of their baskets to snack on slices of apple at the AIUNAU sanctuary in Medellín, Colombia. Baby sloths are poached and illegally trafficked during the end-of-the-year holiday season.

At the sanctuary, rescued sloths are kept isolated from human contact to minimize the risk of domestication. They go through a process of rehabilitation and medical care until they are ready to be released into their natural habitat.
