Hoffmann's Two-toed Sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni)

La Selva Biological reserve

Hoffmans tvåtåiga sengångare

Resting high up in a tree. This sloth is mostly nocturnal, spending the daytime immobile in tree crowns and often in the middle of liana tangles; in such places it is hard for predators to approach without moving the lianas and alerting the sloth.
