Bradypus variegatus
Although hard to be certain, I believe this spotting to be a Three-toed Sloth. It was high up in a tree, and impossible to approach closer. This species spends three-forths of the day sleeping in trees. They move very slowly, and come down to the ground generally only to defecate about once per week.
This animal was spotted in the upper Amazon rain forest, Pacaya Samiria Reserve.
