Ancient Nomad
PART 5: Winter break
 

 flag   Route Map    Masaya, Nicaragua   »  November 22, 2012

A slow day today. Sitting at the parque Central. Suddenly another comotion, just like a few days back. Guess what - a sloth again! This time it was found on the ground, I think. I've heard that they leave the tree once a week to go to toilet. So maybe this was his day? I quickly paid my bill, pulled out the camera, and chaotically tried to shoot a photo. Unfortunately, a local lady already helpt it on the tree, and it was climbin up. When checking my photos, suddenly something fell off the tree nearly on my head. The sloth! The sloth lamost fell on my head!
 
I took a video of the sloth on the ground and had a chance to pet it. What a neat creature sloth is! This was an adult one, I assume. few years back, in Peru, I had a chance to hold a baby sloth at a wildlife sanctuary. I don't know why, but I like them. Back to our sloth here, the same lady picked it up and carried it to another tree, which it finally climbed with the help of a broom! haha

Photo:  Masaya, Nicaragua → Here is a video of the even. Very shaky because I wasn't ready to shoot and there were people around and a bit of a chaotic scene since everybody wanted to see it.
