JG1209 90 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I am doing the GUMBALIMBA PARK AND CANOPY ZIP LINE in Roatan in March . Anyone have a clue if they have sloths. And If so, can you interact with them? My daughter LOVES sloths so I wasn’t to try and get a pic with one or close to one. thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedNoodles 4,611 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Here are the reviews from Trip Advisor. They do appear to have sloths. I did a cursory look through the photos (although I didn't look at all 1,000+ of them) and didn't see anyone holding any sloths. Macaws and Capuchin Monkeys, yes, but no sloths. As a retired zoo keeper, working with exotics for nearly 20 years, I don't really think this is a bad thing, though. Not all animals are suited to being passed around all day by humans - it can be very stressful for them (I know, a lot of places do it - doesn't mean it's a great idea). It looks like a fun place - I'm kind of jealous! I might have to take a look at this place for when I visit Roatan (minus the zip line). https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g292019-d649528-Reviews-Gumbalimba_Park-Roatan_Bay_Islands.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is what I saw too. I know that Honduras is their natural habitat... so figures crossed I get to see one.. I dont need to hold one- I just want to get a good pic of one for my daughter.. I dont care if it is in a tree or I am standing next to it. If I remember, I will try to reply to this post and let you know how it was. My cruise is in March... Cant wait!!
