Do not know why the dead at once.
Species of three-toed sloth, this sloth was drying in the sun after swimming the river. It was moderately curious about us in our canoe. Although on its own, not yet fully mature so we weren't able to determine sex. The sloth spends almost all its time in trees, coming down only once a week to defecate and rare other occasions when tree-to-tree navigation isn't possible.
