This is one of my jobs as an intern - to feed the babies goat's milk. This is Bolletje, her name means "small ball" in dutch because she was such a little ball when they got her.
Another job that Monique showed us how to do was gather cecropia plants for the sloths to eat. We went out to a dairy farm and in the back was the forest. Using a machete and some elbow grease, we gathered enough plants for the week for the sloths to eat. Here I am holding a fruit of the plant, which the sloths love! We had to wear the polos because the juice of the plant will stain clothing brown.
Very jealous of the feeding! What an amazing experience for you. Ooh, there's that envy again.
