Sleeping With Sloths

Tweet

This article that I read was one I definitely had to relate to you. First of all you can see in the picture what I am referring to. Sloths are mammals that live in trees and some have to toes and others three. It is all happening in Rainier, Oregon at the Zoological Wildlife Conservation Center. The center is dedicated to rescuing sloths. They now have a special program for sloth lovers in which they can participate and have a sleepover with sloths. Once you sign up you can hang out with the sloths in their colony habitats. What will it cost you? Just a mere $600 and you get a double-occupancy booking slot where you can observe and interact with the animals from 8 PM to 7:30 AM. I wonder if that includes breakfast and coffee with the sloths. You can decide to sleep or not but a cot is provided and you can watch TV. Apparently sloths are sensitive to noise so keep the TV sound low and don’t attempt to laugh too loudly depending on what the sloths are up to. It says that you cannot hold the sloths but you can observe them up close. Here I wonder what happens if the sloth you are currently viewing wants to hug you. This program happens to be most popular from mid-June to early September. The rest of the time when people no longer travel as much due to season change and the weather they book on Saturdays and holidays. An interesting thing is you might sign up and not sleep all night but the sloths require 15 – 18 hours of sleep per day. Those who aren’t interested in sleeping over can book for a “feed and pet” educational happening with the sloths for a bargain price of $100 per person. All sloths are welcome here and all sloth fans as well. Would you enjoy having an overnight outing with sloths? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sloth-sleepover-program-oregon_us_58d2a162e4b0f838c62e8b0f
