This three-toed sloth was the first creature that greeted me when I arrived in Panama. There are four species of three-toed sloth, the most common being the brown three-toed sloth that is found throughout much of Central and South America. Like the toucan that I posted yesterday, the sloth prefers to hang out in, and eat the leaves of, the cecropia tree. This guy was doing what sloths spend most of their day doing — taking a nap while giving itself a good scratch. And they always seem to have a smile on their faces, even while sleeping. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 250mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/100th of a second
