Sloth ID (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
I wonder if anyone who knows their Brazillian sloths could ID the species photographed here?

Any help gratefully received

Thanks

Geoff
 
it is a two-toed sloth (very different facial structure to three-toed sloths so easy to tell apart even if you can't count their claws). The species that occurs in Santerem should be the Linnaeus' two-toed sloth Choloepus didactylus
 
Many thanks for that rapid and informative response Chlidonias - I'll let Graham know what species he can tick!
