Hoffmann's Two-toed Sloth
Choloepus hoffmanni
The adult Hoffmann's two-toed sloth lives mostly in the canopy of Central and South American rainforests and cloud forests. It feeds mainly on leaves, shoots, fruit, and flowers, moving slowly at night through overlapping branches. Its shaggy fur can host algae, helping it blend into green vegetation while it rests. Though famously slow, it can defend itself with strong forelimbs, long claws, and a sharp bite when threatened.
