  • Three-Toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus) Perezoso de Tres Dedos, Cahuita, Caribe, Costa Rica<br />
This sloth species is found from southern Honduras through Panama and western Colombia through the Amazon to northern Argentina. The three-toed sloth is active during the day, unlike the nocturnal two-toed sloth, and so is seen more often. This sloth only eats leaves from trees and lianas, but may feed on fifty individual trees of up to thirty species, eating leaves of different ages. Sloths live, feed, mate, and reproduce near the upper levels of the forest canopy. They move to a new tree often enough to balance their diet, or about once every 1.5 days. Image by Andres Morya
