A Plot Twist | December 2025

We have been struggling to locate Tender, as mentioned in our previous update, after he ventured away from his usual territory.

At the beginning of the month, the signal from his collar started behaving strangely again, possibly due to a malfunction. After some investigation with neighbors and nearby businesses, we found out that Tender had been seen walking along the ground at Baya Baya, a lovely beachfront café located about 300 meters from his original home.

He was then last spotted moving into a nearby property full of almond trees next door to the café. The owner has five German Shepherds, so we are really hoping Tender stays high up in the trees. Dogs are one of the many urban risks sloths face here. Thankfully, the signal from his collar later appeared to return to normal.

A sneak peek at the property, where we can't venture further.

Tender continues to show us just how challenging wildlife tracking can be in increasingly urban areas. At the moment, we are struggling to gain access to the property where his collar signal is coming from, so for now, it is a waiting game.
