Celebrate International Sloth Day & the 10th Annual Sloth Ironman Games!
International Sloth Day is here, and we are beyond excited to celebrate these slow-moving yet absolutely extraordinary creatures at the 10th Annual Sloth Ironman Games! This year, join us for a day full of fun, friendly competition, and a whole lot of sloth love, all while supporting sloth conservation.
What is International Sloth Day?
International Sloth Day is a special occasion at Toucan Rescue Ranch, as we reflect on the unique qualities of sloths and the vital conservation efforts needed to protect them. It’s a reminder of our commitment to rescuing and rehabilitating sloths, as well as preserving the rainforest habitats they call home.
Get Ready for the 10th Annual Sloth Ironman Games!
We’re turning up the fun for the 10th Annual Sloth Ironman Games! Each year, sloths from our rehabilitation program participate in a friendly competition, showcasing their unique personalities and capabilities. The Sloth Ironman Games are the perfect combination of fun and purpose, with events that highlight the resilience and charm of sloths while raising critical funds for our Saving Sloths Together Program.
But it’s more than just a day of games—this event is an essential part of our conservation efforts. The Sloth Ironman Games raise funds for the rescue, rehabilitation, and rewilding of sloths, ensuring that they have a second chance at life in the wild.
What is Saving Sloths Together?
In 2017, Toucan Rescue Ranch partnered with The Sloth Institute Costa Rica to create Saving Sloths Together (SST), a nationwide initiative dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rewilding sloths. With years of expertise and a passion for sloth conservation, SST aims to provide sloths with the opportunity to return to their natural habitats and live a life free from harm.

The 10th Annual Sloth Ironman Games are not just about cheering on your favorite sloth athlete—they’re about making a tangible impact on the lives of sloths in need. All funds raised during this event directly benefit the Saving Sloths Together Program, supporting efforts like:
