About 18 - 20 inches long...typically mother abandons at 4 months to fend for themselves in her territory. After about 1 year, they find their own territory...this little guy is living down at my waterfall..he is my new neighbor!

I have one on my wildlife park by a seasonal waterfall! Last spotted on my tempisque tree. I would be honored if you might consider adding your spottings to a featured mission titled "Lolla Pilosa". https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/248...
Sloths are classified as folivores, as the bulk of their diet consists mainly of buds, tender shoots and leaves, mainly of Cecropia trees of the genus.
Yep, Nance, the internet has been off and on and each time I have to remember to reset the location map...
wonderful! (but I think your map is off; it says Cartago)
Awesome! What a great neighbor!
Sloths are so cool. Met one living in a friend's tree in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Unfortunately, one day it came down and neighborhood dogs got it; their slow movement can be a real disadvantage.
Great photo
