This adorable sloth hangs from the branches. Costa Rica: THESE FLIPPED over images appear to show an adorable sloth balancing on the branch like a tightrope walker. Really as these images show the charismatic creature is swinging upside down from the branches, staring at the photographer upside down. One image shows the cheeky sloth hanging from only its hind legs whilst sticking out its tongue, pulling a funny face at the photographer. The Northern two-toed sloth is one of the world?s slowest mammals. They are so sedentary, that algae often grows on their fur coats. They can grow up to 28 inches in length and weigh up to pounds. Their two front toes are where they get their names, having three claws on their hind legs. These images were taken by photographer and business owner Milan Zygmunt (43) in the Manuel Antonio area of Costa Rica, using a Canon 1DX Mark II camera. ?The sloth moved from one tree to another, later stopping and fell asleep for a few minutes,? said Milan. ?After taking a nap it continued and probably liked watching us upside down. When he got in the right tree, he climbed up and fell asleep at the crown of a tree. ?Working with mammals is always about time and patience to wait for the right moment and expression. Later you can get funny pictures which is always interesting and people like them. ?I was super happy because it´s a really rare moment to see a sloth like that. I had also fun watching this amazing mediadrumimages/MilanZygmunt
