Adorable pictures show orphaned baby sloths in the sanctuary where they learn all about life in the VERY slow lane

  • These lovable creatures are being cared for by volunteers at the Sloth Institute in Costa Rica, set up by Sam Trull
  • Some of their babies are smaller than the size of a human hand, with one image showing one nestled inside a mug
  • The centre aims to help rehabilitate the abandoned sloths back into the wild after their heartbreaking start to life

    Sloths love life in the slow lane above all else - and this is where adorable orphaned babies of the species are able to carefully get into the swing of a leisurely life.

    These pictures show impossibly cute baby sloths at the Sloth Institute in Costa Rica. The centre is a lifeline for them as they probably wouldn't have stood a chance if left alone in the wild.

    The centre was set up by Sam Trull - known as 'Mother of Sloths' - and Seda Sejud, in a bid to enhance their well-being and assure their conservation.

    Some of their babies are smaller than the size of a human hand, with one image showing a cheeky sloth snuggled up in a mug.
