We know, sloths look like the most huggable animal, but it's actually the opposite. Physical contact is really harmful and stressful for them. When used as photo props, their survival is drastically reduced, often not lasting more than a few weeks before being replaced by another. This cycle continues to meet the demand for 'sloth selfies.' If you love sloths, you won't ever hug them! #slothselfie #wildlifeselfie | The Sloth Conservation Foundation
