I need to carry my phone with me when I leave the room. Sergio gets curious about everything and today I noticed my phone had been moved after going to the kitchen to get some more tea. Sure enough, what do I find? A close up of Sergio.

I asked him about it and he said he was trying to figure out what the how the different cameras worked so he could improve his selfie taking skills, when the next thing he knew he had switched it to the front taking camera and it went off. Then he blinked and told me he still had spots in front of his eyes.

I have a feeling I’m going to have to keep my eye on him. His curiosity gets the better of him and those long fingers of his get itchy to try things out. It’s a good thing he’s such an adorable sloth.

Sergio was quite excited to share with you the island where he grew up, Isla Escudo de Veraguas, which is off the coast of Panama. The pygmy three-toed sloth is critically endangered and is ONLY found on the Isla Escudo de Veraguas. Because of the limited resources of space and food, the sloths on the island are 40% smaller than their mainland cousins.

While he loves his beautiful island, he is happy to have left Panama to live with Luna because together they will have many adventures. When I mentioned he was barely in his picture, he grumbled. I asked what was wrong. His response: Do you know how hard it is to take a picture when you have long nails and only three fingers?

He may have a point.
