This 5-month-old baby and this sloth have been best friends since birth

Here is little Alia and her friend Daisy the sloth.

Alia met Daisy when she was only 2 days old.

Her parents say Alia and the female sloth have been inseparable ever since.

The adorable little pair play and nap together.

They often wear a hairband with a flower of the same color.

Alia’s parents, Julia and Jason Heckathorn, already owned a kangaroo named Boomerro, an anteater named

Noche, sugar gliders and a cat named Larry.

But that was not enough: Julia and Jason decided to welcome another animal into their little family and brought home Daisy the sloth.

According to the young couple, they had decided to adopt the sloth before learning that Julia was pregnant.

To her, it all seemed like a sign of fate.

“I believe things went as God intended.

I think he knew I was capable of taking care of two babies at once, and it would be great for them to grow up together,” she explains.

Julia is a children’s illustrator and incorporates her pets into her books, in order to raise children’s awareness of environmental protection.

She admits that being a writer and taking care of so many animals at the same time presents many challenges, but she also finds many joys in it.
