Choloepus hoffmanni
Statut de Conservation (Liste Rouge de l'UICN):
Préoccupation mineure (LC)
It moves only when it must — and even then, barely. This sloth lives alone in the treetops, wrapped in shaggy fur that often hosts algae and tiny insects. Its long limbs and curved claws let it hang effortlessly, upside down, for hours at a time.
Mostly nocturnal, it feeds on leaves, fruit, and flowers — digesting slowly, resting often, avoiding attention. With two toes in front and three behind, it’s built for climbing, not walking.
It doesn’t try to disappear. It simply stays where others don’t look — quiet, patient, and entirely unhurried.
