SLEEP WITH THE SLOTHS

An Oregon wildlife center is giving animal lovers the chance to have a sleepover with sloths. The Sloth Captive Husbandry Center in Rainier is offering “Sloth Sleepover” encounters. According to the pitch, “Guests will observe natural behaviors and interact with a colony of Sloths during the activity bouts of their naturally most ‘active’ time of day. When the sloths are napping guests can read, relax and even nap themselves if they wish, INSIDE one of our sloth ambassador colony habitats.” The center said the guests typically feed the sloths about eight times per night. The Sloth Sleepover costs $1,200 for a group of four.
* Sleep with a sloth? My wife currently enjoys that experience nightly.
* This sounds like fun, for about the first twenty minutes. Then its, “Come on, do something!!!”
* What if you only wake up 7 times during the night to feed the sloth? Do you wake up with a sloth munching on your toes?
* And after the Sloth Encounter, you’ll be able to experience something called Lice Encounter.
* If you like this, there’s something called the Cosa Nostra Nature Center in northern New Jersey that offers a “Sleep with the Fishes” experience.
