what is a kukula?
Kukula is the name given to sloths by inhabitants of the south Caribbean region of Costa Rica. No one knows the exact origin of the word but it is believed to derive from one of the many indigenous languages. Kukula is still used by certain native communities, the Afro-Caribbeans and also the newer settlers.
