The brown-throated three-toed sloth (Bradypus tridactylus) is a slow-moving, tree-dwelling mammal found in tropical rainforests. It has long, coarse fur with a greenish-brown tint, often covered in algae, and a distinctive brown throat patch. With three toes on each foot, it is perfectly adapted for gripping branches and spending most of its life hanging upside down.

Primarily herbivorous, it feeds on leaves, fruits, and buds, moving slowly due to its low metabolism and inefficient digestion. The sloth’s solitary nature and slow movements make it vulnerable to habitat loss.

In the area where our Eco Lodge is located we have a lot of chances to spot the Sloth  near  to the river sides on the tree branches  feedig on the  new foliage leafs.
