I was checking to make sure this beautiful image wasn’t AI when I finally found a source on the National Wildlife Federation website where they have a page dedicated to the photographs of Suzi Eszterhas.
This is what it said about this picture.
After their birth tree was felled by loggers, this Hoffman’s two-toed sloth and her baby were rescued then released into a wild area in Costa Rica that’s protected from deforestation. Shortly after their release, Eszterhas climbed up to photograph them. Babies stick to their moms “like Velcro,” she says. Admitting to a “major love affair with sloths,” Eszterhas has covered five of the six species and helps fund their conservation—a true labor of love.
