It's done!
Yes it is a very lucky spotting, just before I'll go to the beach... I change my plan very quickly :)

Thank you, I was not 100 % sure. I change the species name directly!

Fantastic sighting! But Pale-throated sloth is limited to South America, the species in Costa Rica is Bradypus variegatus, Brown-throated Sloth.
