Oh, those sweet but inscrutable expressions, that penchant for hanging upside down, the unapologetic embrace of life in the slow lane-everything about sloths is utterly irresistible! This calendar features full-colour portraits starring the adorable residents of sloth sanctuaries in Costa Rica, accompanied by sweet captions and fascinating facts: A sloth’s coat hosts algae that turn it green, camouflaging it among the trees (since running from predators isn’t an option). From Lucy Cooke, the “Steven Spielberg of sloth filmmaking” (The Atlantic). Printed on responsibly sourced paper and 100% recyclable.

Ah, sloths. Those Mona Lisa expressions. Their quirky love for being upside down. And the kind of chill attitude we all wish we had at times. Here they are in candid photographs in all their adorableness, living their best life in sanctuaries in Costa Rica. Captured by the photographer and all-around sloth expert Lucy Cooke, they’re hanging in trees, lounging in hammocks and baskets, and cozying up n snuggly little piles. Plus fascinating facts: A sloth’s coat is a perfect host for algae—this turns them green and allows them to camouflage in the trees! Printed in China on responsibly sourced paper.

Combining Lucy’s adorable sloth photography with facts about the strange lives of the world’s slowest mammal and words of wisdom about slowing down, Life in the Sloth Lane is a mindfulness book like no other. Gorgeous images of sloths paired with inspiration on the joy of living slow from a medley of gurus from Thich Naht Hahn to Bob Marley and Paulo Coehlo.

Say it with sloths! There was no sloth emoji so the Sloth Appreciation Society decided to make our very own iOS sloth stickers for you to add to your SMS messages. All proceeds are donated to the ZSL EDGE of existence campaign to save the critically endangered pygmy sloth.
