Leo Garcia

Leo Garcia started the Sloth of the Day website years ago. His daughter loves sloths and talks about them all the time. He bought the domain slothoftheday.com to make a site focused on sloths. As a webmaster, he wanted to create something special for his daughter. He put together a simple site with facts, pictures, and fun details about sloths. The site is a favorite for sloth fans all over the world. It was made out of love and he wished to share something everyone could enjoy. Over the years, he has been asked many times to make sloth-themed gear for his Facebook and Instagram followers, friends, and family. At first, he didn’t think much about it. But the requests kept coming, so he decided to create a store. The store features sloth designs on Sloth shirts, sloth mugs, sloth garden flags, and more. It’s all aimed at fans who love sloths and want cool gear. This allows him to share his passion with others and give sloth lovers new ways to enjoy their favorite spirit animal.
