Sloths hold their arms open as a DEFENSIVE posture! This is them warning you to stand back as you are stressing them out. As solitary prey animals, they DO NOT like to be touched or held. We often hear or see videos of people too close to wild sloths and when they do this posture people think they are asking for a hug! Make sure to always be respectful and reaponisble and keep a 3 meter diatance. #Sloths #ResponsibleTravel #ResponsibleTourism #Sloth #NotPets #slothsoftiktok #slothlover

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
