Sloths are relatively common on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, but they can be very difficult to spot as they are exquisitely blended in with their rainforest environments. Sloths culture green-tinted lichen and algal species to grow in their fur to aid in this camouflage. If you're lucky, and very patient, you may see them lower down a tree for a more complete portrait than the usual ball of fluff at the top of a tree. @sloth_sloth_daily @visit_costarica @manuelantoniopark @costaricaexperts #sloth #slow #brownthroatedsloth #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wild #nature #animal #mammals #rainforest #jungle #tropical #neotropical #costarica #CR #puravida #manuelantonio #quepos #puntarenas #savetherainforest #conservation #chrismilliganphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CpuJeHjOdlJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“for how long should i keep them alive?”

he asks that question in much the same tone he uses to ask about someone’s new haircut, or what they should get for dinner. it bears as much weight on his mind as those pleasantries, gray eyes completely blank on all but the most languorous sort of attention. 

“it’s not like they have much to offer, but marcelo might want to talk to them anyways, when his spiritual retreat concludes.”

@neotropical​ / don’t u say anything.

fenrir’s aware of her presence long before he turns to see her, long before he can hear the deity’s inaudible steps -- and it comes down to her smell, an unmistakable, sweet and burning scent that turns his tongue idle inside his mouth. overworked muscles swell as he sets down the weight plates back on their racks, his chest rising and falling in heavy exhales, and he seems more indifferent than offended by the visit, more aloof than aggressive -- an odd response for a god that tends to dislike everyone, regardless of whether they belong to his pantheon or not. 

still, that doesn’t mean he’ll be warm, or play nice.

“place’s closed, didn’t you read the sign?” raul ocasio owns this gym and the two locals on each side. he likes to come here at least once a week, and do so alone. she probably knows this. probably timed this just so they were alone in the vast building, as if that would make things safer. finally he turns to see her, head tilted expectantly. “there’s other gyms nearby that you can go to.”
