FfFfFfFF 58,371 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 In an attempt to cross from one tree to another in the Venezuelan town of San Antonio de Los Altos, a sloth had climbed on to a high-voltage power line and been electrocuted. The animal had lost the claws on three of its paws because of burns and the Rodríguezes were told by a local wildlife expert that it was not likely to survive, and that they should leave it to die. Today, the sloth is not only thriving but has proved the inspiration for the couple to create what they believe to be Venezuela’s first dedicated sloth rescue and rehabilitation centre. “Our goal is to give injured sloths a second chance at life in the wild,” says Haydée, 36, a marketing specialist. The Rodríguezes’ work is vital considering the state of wildlife rehabilitation and conservation in Venezuela, which has been underfunded for years. Currently, the Rodríguezes have three other sloths in their care, which they affectionately refer to as their tenants, including a baby who lost its mother.
