A stressed sloth shares his explosive story with Anna Twinney (animal communicator)

*DONA UPDATE* He will be moved to the sanctuary as the Kids Saving the Rainforest #1 ambassador. We will be able to check in on him regularly to see how he is progressing!
A sacred sneak peek and backstage pass to the sloth rescue and sanctuary in Costa Rica. He speaks silently and softly as he shows his story of being hurt and shares his physical condition with linguist Anna Twinney and the founder Jennifer Rice of Kids Saving the Rain Forest.

That sloth is a survivor! 🙏👍💕

God Bless all animal communicators! They have such an amazing skill that helps us know what our animals are experiencing, feeling, and thinking. Much love ❤️

[@fortheanimals5585]

You're amazing, Anna! I'm also an animal communicator and really enjoyed watching you in your video. I love Clements, too! I have a special connection to Sloths :-)

[@ShimmeringWind]

Wonderful to her of her conversation with a sloth. Basket came to mind so he could sleep in it. Its hard to sleep on a pole if you're afraid your going to fall off.

[@marlenaforbes-reidy9876]

Electric cables should be installed safely and professionally underground away from danger of animals being electrocuted, the loss and maiming of animal life must be horrendous. Poor sloth 💖

[@michaelhearne3289]

Underground power lines are no more safe than above ground. Just a new set of problems

[@karmakat8016]

Have you been to the Americas??I got electocuted regularly over 6 months in Central America from their mad showers

[@neliaferreira9983]

A simple wooden circle attached under the electric box would suffice. But then again, it's the jungle... Having electric cables is already a good enough for them.

The bubble concept was very interesting! I hadn't thought of that, but different people have different personal spaces, and surely so do animals. 😀🔘

Wild animals should not be touched if it's not absolutely necessary to help them. Human touch is stressful to them. Only pets like cats and dogs enjoy it. 🙄

Animals can heal themselves just give them times, don’t put them down so quickly

[@villemononen5303]

Same for humans, not much different. Just give the body time, rest and support to make it's magic.

Reading the mind of a sloth... hmmm sounds like someone took way too many magic mushrooms

[@skullrose8985]

@@ranjitchakravarty604 Hey man whatever works,drugs can open up parts of the brain we dont use..There's alot more to it than we will ever understand..just try not to judge to quick. Kids have the special gift,but then we turn into negative adults..also if someone is happier they usually heal better. I am not saying life threatening things can be healed with just been positive & happy,there's so much more to look into..But imagine us thinking outside the box,that can't happen,otherwise big companies & I am not knocking all of them as they do valuable reasearch & much more,but some make alot of money from keeping us in that box. And no I am not a conspiracy theorist,just a normal person,trying to think for myself.. Have a blessed day & Take care,xx

Exactly ❤

[@catherinesutter2528]

It would be great if the program would evolve so that Anna or Anna and Donut could explain to sloths who live near power lines what it is that is dangerous to touch!

[@ReachOutToHorses]

That would be an amazing miracle and compare to us connecting and changing human minds:)

[@lorimiller4301]

Animals can tell other animals that something is dangerous, there just has to be a way. Have a phoney Sloth touch a phoney transistor and cry out like a Sloth does. They could then pass that scenario on. Maybe they just need to see it happening ?

[@donnacook3150]

I wonder if some type of device could be attached to the poles to prevent climbing up. Would have to be super cost effective.

That's wonderful that they are giving him acupuncture. Its amazing & healing. I really do feel that because of the spinal issue, he needs a Chiropractor just as much. Mine has animal clients. Its amazing to see. They can research for animal licenced chiropractors in their area. 🤞There will hopefully be one.

[@Aceofcups111]

We need to do better. Electric poles should not be electrocuting animals.

[@valerief1231]

I had to fight with the electric company to put a cage around the transformer near my house, a very rustic setting. Squirrels would just step on it, get blown off, and they’d die, plus we would be without power for 3-5 days. In Texas, in the heat. I actually threatened to go to all the news stations and talk about the animal cruelty, and how they said it wasn’t worth the expense. A total of $70 usd 😖

[@spaceman5734]

yeah it should be electrocuting members of the Media, governments, Royal family and The Vatican.

Kept hearing a snack he wants... i heard the vulnerability and being safe until recovery, and the cottoncandy like pully snack... he just kept repeating it... his food is good but he mentioned the snack as a reward when he makes daily progress... im sure its not cottoncandy but i saw it being something he could pull apart... hope he is cool.

[@helenajanzen9850]

the therapy he's telling you that what he needs is when he is sleeping he needs you to put his Leg-foot onto the branch to gain strength in the leg-foot I grew up in south America and I am the most amazing animal whisperer in the world

[@MrKingdavis13]

I have always had a very good relationship with animals and have been able to approach and pet animals that others can't even begin to get near with no violence to me but I would not claim to be able to communicate with them like this woman does. Animals are very observant and can tell if you are scared of them or if you intend to harm them in some way so when they sense that you are friendly they will allow you to get closer to them. That's all. This lady didn't report anything accurately outside what anyone would have noticed from just seeing his condition and movements and the rest is just storytelling and trying to make it seem like there is a deeper connection just like "psychics" have been doing for thousands of years. As humans we tend to remember the hits or accurate reports and excuse away the fails so that it seems to validate the reporting so it is very nice to see a real video that shows the fails and how silly the process actually is so that others don't attribute more to the story than is actually there because they can rewind the video and see just how off the claims actually are for themselves. Thank you for the honest reporting.

[@CnithTheOnliestOne]

I want to know how he got the name "Dona" aka donut.

[@justcallmejessz3712]

I was about to comment about the sloth seeming faster moving then any other sloth. ..... Then I remembered I typically watch videos on 1.5x speed because people talk sooooo slow. And realize he was slow sloth after all

[@neliaferreira9983]

Ah ah!! I speed the videos as well!! Sometimes to the top speed possible. Specially when I listen to Brazilians, they speak so slowly! 😄

[@davidtrueslayor7474]

Ok so my question would be how does He 'sloth' know when He will be better humans cant even judge that like oh I will be recovered fully in a year ??? do animals have that ability to self analyze or is there denial involved (wishful thinking) that he wants to believe he will get better ? But really impressive to say the least. thanks

[@MyKamil2010]

I am wondering the same thing...don't know. People know they are dying when old or fighting an illness... maybe animals have a better body-mind connection?

[@anon-vd3sr]

Its an instinctive act. Animals are way smarter then us in their own way. Scientist have proven this fact a while ago.

[@Yese7]

Different states of consciousness, the average human can't comprehend the energy body, a stronger connection with nature and your own self/intuition, you can raise your own frequencies and experience life from their perspective. Humans are naturally low in vibrational energy, whereas animals are naturally high. Instinct to them is gnosis to us, an inner understanding.

[@helgaderm8439]

Animals are very psychic

[@ReachOutToHorses]

Its a great question and one we can always ask ourselves to stay true to the art and true to ourselves. In this case our sloth was giving his opinion and perspective which could align with the vets and the carers. He was able to describe the conditions, symptoms and circumstances for everyone to piece the rest together. By giving his view point and his own experiences he could provide his emotional, mental and physical state of being. AND all that @Facterino states below too!

[@katpurfect2592]

Just for fun, looks like he's putting 2 fingers up at the end.lol!

[@GarthMurray1]

For an animal that is supposedly communicating with her his attention doesn't seem to be directed at her at all.

[@Yese7]

It's not a physical, observable wavelength that they're communicating on. Ever zoned out whilst daydreaming and you're watching the mental images you've created for yourself? It's the same thing, animals speak in images.

[@areneesouder]

Oh? Do you have to be looking at a person in order to communicate with them? Or can you be busy doing something and not looking at them,yet still talk to them. It's not hard to understand.

[@GarthMurray1]

@@Yese7 - It's hard to make direct quotes while listening to a KZbin video unless you take very careful notes while watching, which I did not have time for in this case. Therefore, no quotation marks. People can, however, playback the video as many times as needed to understand the points I'm making and probably uncover some of their own. - Listen carefully to the _verbal_ conversations she claims she's having with the sloth throughout the video. She's not talking about seeing images, she's describing asking questions and getting answers in words. (3:11) Her eyes are open the whole time until she stands up and then says, I don't want to see anything from him, it's easier if I see nothing. Which I assume is so she doesn't pick up visual clues from him?? However, watch the sloth, his mind appears to be somewhere else totally. He's not showing any signs of being communicated with or even daydreaming. (4:50) Then she asked him, how do you feel? To which the sloth replied, I feel tingling in my legs. He implies the return of the feeling in his legs but also implies it won't be quick... about a year. "Implies," is that verbal or visual? In any case implying, "about a year" would need a clear understanding of time and future sense, and not just time but the human concept of time and future. - (8:27) She's asking questions while he's asleep and he's apparently answering. He, the sloth, refers to his nerves. That means he has an understanding of his nervous system -- that's amazing regardless of whether it's a word or an image! He talks about physical therapy and how he thinks that in the future he could be out in the wild again -- excuse me! The other lady tells her that the sloth was asleep while she was talking to him and that he just woke up. Her response is quite clever. - (15:25) Well, so much for all his talk about physical therapy -- he hasn't had any! One thing I'm a little suspicious about are the edits throughout the video. I'd like to see the unedited version. And finally, these kind of claims should be fairly easy to test in a controlled environment. A true double-blind test where the identity and history of the animals are truely unknown to the participants.

[@GarthMurray1]

@@areneesouder - You're referring to two human being talking. A sloth is an animal with a very different brain functionality. Ever tried to talk to a dog about a past injury and what it expects in the way of future physiotherapy while it's eating and you're loading the dishwasher?

[@Yese7]

@@areneesouder It all depends on the receiver in regards to your question. Some people naturally and subconsciously talk on this wavelength without realising they're doing it. Long distance communication is a form of remote viewing, pretty tough skill to master to be honest. However, if you're both receptive and know how the process works then sure short range is pretty easy to do even without looking at them (helps if you can though).

The animal was asleep n she was communicating with him. Really… no wonder she didn’t say anything specific to what actually happened to this animal. My pet rock could have communicated better about electrical wires etc. 👎
