Thanks to a good Samaritan and the efforts of the Jaguar Rescue Center, a baby sloth has been reunited with its mother.
On May 8, the Samaritan found the baby and dropped it off at the sanctuary. Eager to find the mom, the rescue played a recording of the baby’s calls over a loudspeaker in a clever attempt to lure its mother back to it.
Thankfully, they were successful, and the mother responded to her baby’s cries for help. When the mother descended from a tree to get closer to the sounds, rescuers were able to pinpoint her location and reunite the pair.
Watch this adorable video to see the moment mom and baby are brought back together!

True! A Mother & Child Reunion is only an emotion away…..oohh little darlin’ of her Mama! Happy! Happy! Happy! Thank you so very much for helping reunite mother & baby & for the rescue!
A mother and child reunion is a beautiful thing to observe.
Thank you Jaguar Rescue for saving the baby sloth and bringing together the mother sloth and the baby sloth. Thank you for your care for animals.
THANK YOU JAGUAR RESCUE. ALL ANIMALS HAVE A HEART. ALL ANIMALS ARE AWESOME.
Thank you to the rescuer for saving this precious little one, and to the staff of the centre for caring enough to do what was needed to reunite Mom and Baby.
Maybe the mom was out finding food and the baby was not lost and people should not have interfered? Thanks for helping reunite them reunite.
Sasha, this is possible, just not probable. The way that baby latched onto her Mama & Mama to her. Look at those “toes”. They are made for hanging on for dear life. I don’t think Mama would have left her baby that way & most especially when Mama quickly responded to her (recorded) cries & shouts for help. Most likely baby got lost & Mama was in a panic trying to find her! Or, at least that’s what I would imagine. Whatever & however, they sure were happy to be back together & I’m so happy they are together in rescue! Sloths are in such danger now. Trees being chopped down with a sloth hanging in it just so the sloth, if it survives, can be sold on the black market for pets & some of these are mothers who have climbed so high to get away from those doing this. If baby & Mama survive, they are likely to be forcefully separated. So to know this mother & baby are safe, is a wonderful thing!
ALL ANIMAL LIVES ARE ARE IMPORTANT NOW AND FOR ALWAYS!
Maybe the baby was not lost from the mom, but the mom was out getting food and would come back to the baby if people would leave it alone. I am glad they baby is with the mom again. Great help!
Such a Beautiful reunion, thank you for sharing!! LUV sloths!!!! MUST be protected!!!
Thank you for providing such a wonderfully interesting and informative site
What a great idea. I would never have thought about that.
Great news to see human beings treated animals well.
Is it not lovely to see such a wonderful story, after all the dreadful actions of sub humans we have been shown today.
I think Sloths are wonderful animals. How luck was that little girl or boy?
