Linnaeus's Two-toed Sloth, Choloepus didactylus (Megalonychidae)

Tiputini Forest Reserve, Prov. Orellana, Ecuador

An unusual sighting of a sloth stuck in the rain on the ground. Sloths trapped in such a situation are extremely vulnerable from predators and illness. (Park authorities helped this individual to climb back up a tree trunk.)
