Per request, one more from my Costa Rica trip from a few years ago. This three-toed sloth was giving himself a nice — albeit slow and deliberate — scratch to the midsection with those big claws. The sun had almost set and I had to use a tripod and a very slow shutter speed of 1/20th of a second, but with the way that these guys move, it wasn’t a problem getting sharp focus.

He’s so slow that he’s molded.
You’re absolutely right Patti. Mold does grow on their fur. It helps them by providing camouflage.
You have such a knack for capturing great moments!! The look on his face is very “slothy” LOL
Thanks Amanda. These guys are quite appropriately named.
Hahaha. He is molded. So cute. Definitely up there with the Tarsiers for me.
Thank you for my birthday sloth! I love him!!!!
