Rodrigo is ready for his close-up.

The rescue sloth, who lives at Jaguar Rescue Center in Costa Rica, shied away when someone brought a camera near the basket where he was lounging. Eventually, the center wrote, "curiosity won" and Rodrigo got up close and personal with the camera.

Rodrigo, who is about 1 and a half years old, was discovered near a road when he was just 8 months.

The center could not locate his mother, and they have been caring for him ever since, even helping him learn to climb again.
