Hoffmann's two-toed sloth
Perezoso de dos dedos
Reviewed by Pura Vida Compass Editorial TeamLast reviewed How we research
Two-toed sloths are largely nocturnal, so daytime sightings are typically a motionless ball of fur wedged in a fork of branches. Night walks in the Caribbean lowlands offer the best chance of seeing one actually moving.
Where to look
- Lowland and premontane rainforest
- Palm plantations
- Garden trees
When
Year-round.
Watching it ethically
- Choose guided night walks that use red filters rather than white light.
- Never handle wildlife.
