Sloth+Bear+Giant?!?

 someone needs a hug!

nick trying to sneak up on the Giant Sloth.  don't worry, its not a real one : \

As you know, Bootees is a sponsor of the Free the Bears Fund. Check out our last post on the Free the Bears Fund here.  The Free The Bears team rescue a lot of Sloth Bears in India (where they are used as dancing bears).  I'd never heard of a sloth bear before so I found it super interesting when we came across this Sloth Bear cave in Chile.  It's a gigantic cave where the remains of an ancient Giant Sloth Bear was found - where he had apparently lived thousands of years ago in an exciting time when Giant Sloth Bears roamed the Earth.

Well.. I thought it was fascinating.

Just as interesting, here is a photo of inside the cave - there wasn't a square centimetre that wasn't covered in sandy footprints.  To go where no bootprints have gone before will have to wait another day....
