Costa Rica Gallery - Three-Toed Sloth

Photo: Three-toed sloth hanging from branch
A young three-toed sloth dangles languidly from vines in Osa Peninsula. Solitary, arboreal, and nocturnal creatures, sloths use their long, prominent claws for climbing around the rain forest canopies of Central and South America. The world’s slowest mammals, sloths spend an average of 18 hours a day sleeping and are most active from dusk until dawn.
