Two-toed Sloths
Sloth Industry Twotoed tree sloths Sloth Info Three-toed sloths Picture Gallery. sloths are covered with tan to greyish brown hairs.
http://www.sloth.ca/sloths/two_toed_sloths.html

Extractions: Scientific Name: Choloepus hoffmanni Description: Sloths are perhaps most famous for their ability to live and carry out many life functions in an upside down manner. Two-toed sloths have two long claws on their fore limbs and three claws on the hind limbs. Weight varies form 4 to 8 kg. Sloths are covered with tan to greyish brown hairs. Apparently, the sloths hair is specially designed to allow algae to effectively colonize. Greenish camouflage is the most obvious advantage although it is a possibility that the sloths may somehow gain nutrition through absorption or consumption of the colony. Activity is nocturnal. Range: Central and South America Habitat: Tropical forests Diet: Primarily vegetation: leaves and fruit Social Life: Although this may vary by area, some grouping of sloths have been reported in ratios of one male to eleven females. Females are also more gregarious and males more solitary so this figure may be skewed. A single young is born following a lengthy gestation in excess of eleven months and clings to the mother. Maturity is reached between three and a half to four years. Lifespan has exceeded thirty years in rare instances. Conservation: This species is listed on CITES but is not currently endangered.
Three-toed Sloths

http://www.sloth.ca/sloths/three_toed_sloths.html

Extractions: Scientific Name: Bradypodidae Appearance: They have long gray or brown hair that blends in well with the surrounding environment, making it difficult for preditors, such as the jaguar, to see them. This hair curves in the opposite direction of most other mammals: from the stomach to the back. Their hair is often covered with a coat of blue-green algae during the rainy season. This algae provides camouflage. They grow to a length of between one and a half and two and a half feet (in about 2 1/2 years). Their ancestor, the Giant Ground Sloth, which lived before the last ice age, reached the size of a modern elephant. Range: Living in South and Central America, these animals spend almost all of their lives hanging and walking upside down from tree branches. Diet: Defense: They can defend themselves with sharp claws, but their main form of protection is their camouflage. Predators, beside people, include large snakes, harpy and other birds. Also, jaguars and ocelots are a danger when the sloth is on the ground. On the ground it pulls its body along because it can't walk on its feet. Surprisingly, sloths are good swimmers. Gestation/Birth: A sloth's gestation period is almost six months. The newborn is about 10 inches (25 cm) long, and weighs about 12 oz (350g). It clings to its mother until about 5 weeks old.

Extractions: The movements of sloths are known by all who have witnessed them travel as being incredibly slow. Sloths have actually adopted the rightful title of the world's slowest moving mammal. There are two main classifications of sloths: two-toed sloths (Choloepus) and three-toed sloths (Bradypus). Bradypus consists of three species and Choloepus of two resulting in a total of five species of sloths. Several characteristics can be used to distinguish between the two types. The two-toed sloth is nocturnal. Being the larger of the two types, Choloepus can exceed two feet in length and weigh up to approximately eighteen pounds. They possess no tail and, like the three-toed sloth, its arms are longer than its legs. Three-toed sloths, which are active during day and night, are generally less than two feet long and weigh ten pounds or less. They possess short tails as well as an extra vertebrae that allows them to rotate their head almost a complete 360 degrees (Steele, 2002). Some of the early ancestors of today's sloth were known to be the size of elephants and even larger (Steele, 2002). They have very bad hearing (Baker, 2003) and, though they are mammals, they have difficulty regulating their body temperature (Aiello, 1985). Variation in surrounding air temperature also dictates activity patterns. They tend to be more active and feed more during the daytime throughout the cooler, dry season rather than during the hotter, wet season (Chiarello, 1998).

Tropical Field Courses Interdisciplinary Studies Miami University I plan do do research on and eventually give a presentation on sloths. Sloths are found in Costa Rica as well as in many other countries. Their lifestyle as well as behavior are very interesting and they are an integral part of the ecosystems in which they are found. They are also essential to the existance of other species as will be hilighted in my research paper. I have always been interested in and intrigued by sloths, their niche, and why they are so slow. Finding out why they are so important to their surrounding environments is one of my chief goals for this assignment. OUTLINE: I. General characteristics

http://www.ceiba.org/articles/sloth.htm

Extractions: You wouldn't think that a diet of only ants and termites could keep large animals happy, but the tropical anteaters called tamanduas have figured out a successful strategy. Much like large bears can feed themselves by regularly visiting known berry patches, tamanduas return to the same ant and termite nests again and again to feed from the larvae found deep within. To the tamanduas, these small insects are a reliable food source which, although they seem small and non-nutritious to you and me, can support these handsome anteaters thanks to their many special adaptations.

As their flesh is not absolutely bad, both men and rapacious animals go in quest of these animals. It appears that they do not multiply fast, or, at least, if they produce frequently, it must be in small numbers at a time; for they have only two paps. Every circumstance, therefore, concurs to destroy them; and it is extremely difficult for the species to support itself. But, though slow, awkward, and almost incapable of motion, they are obstinate, strong, and tenacious of life. They can live very long without victuals of any kind.* cruel experiment,* tells us, that the heart, after being separated from the body, beat in a lively manner for half an hour; and that the animal continued to contract its legs slowly, as commonly happens during sleep. From these facts, this quadruped seems to approach not only the turtle, but other reptiles which have no distinct centre of sensation. All these beings may be said to be miserable, but not unhappy: Nature, even in her most neglected productions, always appears more in the character of a parent than of a stepmother. sloth of Ceylon Brasil* to Mexico. But, as they have never frequented the northern regions, they could not pass from the one Continent to the other. If these animals have sometimes been seen in the East Indies, or on the coast of Africa, it is certain that they must have been transported thither. They cannot endure cold; and they likewise dread rain. The alternation of moisture and dryness changes their fur, which has more the appearance of ill dressed hemp than of wool or hair.

XENARTHRA; MEGALONYCHIDAE: West Indian Sloths And Two-toed Tree Sloths
XENARTHRA; Family MEGALONYCHIDAE West Indian sloths and Twotoed Tree sloths. sloths varied in size from about that of a medium dog to that of an elephant.
http://www.press.jhu.edu/books/walkers_mammals_of_the_world/xenarthra/xenarthra.

Extractions: XENARTHRA Family MEGALONYCHIDAE This family includes a single living genus Choloepus, with the two species of two-toed tree sloths of Central and South America and at least three genera and three species of sloths that evidently survived in the West Indies until about the time of the European invasion of the Americas. About seven other genera of West Indian sloths have been described ( Anderson 1984), and they are sometimes said to have become extinct around the end of the Pleistocene, but P. S. Martin 1984) suggested that they did not disappear until after the arrival of people in the West Indies, starting about 5,000 years ago. Choloepus traditionally was placed together with Bradypus in the family Bradypodidae, but available evidence now suggests that these two tree sloth genera represent convergent surviving lines from separate ancestral stocks that also gave rise to two different groups of ground sloths. Choloepus, which sometimes is put in its own family, the Choloepidae, is associated with the Megalonychidae, while the Bradypodidae show affinity to the long-extinct family Megatheriidae. Webb 1985) suggested that the early Miocene ancestors of both the Megalonychidae and Megatheriidae were arboreal, while a third family of sloths, the Mylodontidae, was always terrestrial.

Twotoed Tree sloths. Unlike that of most mammals, the body temperature of sloths varies considerably, depending on the temperature of their surroundings.
http://www.press.jhu.edu/books/walkers_mammals_of_the_world/xenarthra/xenarthra.

Extractions: Head and body length is 540-740 mm, the tail is absent or vestigial, and weight is 4.0-8.5 kg. The pelage consists of long guard hairs and short underfur. The coloration is grayish brown, with a paler face. The shoulders and top of the head are the darkest. The coat often has a greenish cast, produced by algal growth on the skin during wet seasons. According to Aiello 1985), the hairs of both Choloepus and Bradypus differ in form and structure from those of all other mammals, apparently being specialized to encourage colonization by algae. Although the sloths usually are said to benefit from this arrangement by being camouflaged, they actually may gain nutrients either by absorption through the skin or by licking the algae.
