It is completely heartbreaking when a baby animal is separated from its mama as baby animals in general depend on their mammas for survival and safety till they are able to depend on themselves. So, when a baby sloth and its mother were separated by wildfires it was very hard for them to live normally.
The mama sloth and her baby were due to wildfires, that struck Bolivia. The animals were able to flee to a nearby town, but the mama sloth and her kid were along the way as they were being chased by unfriendly dogs. While being separated, Marco Greminger, a veterinarian, picked the baby sloth up and he was able to know that the baby sloth has been separated from his family. So, he started searching the area and found the mamma sloth in a tree 300 ft away.
So, Greminger put the baby sloth near the mama to see if they were able to know each other. Thankfully, the mama was very happy to see her child again and she started kissing him. Luckily for us, the emotional reunion was caught on a video by Greminger, who shared it online to let people know the mother’s love.
The 2 sloths were then taken to a local veterinary clinic to be checked. They found that they were generally healthy. The animals will be released back into the wild later. Watch the video below.
