Greatest Sloth encounter ever!

Three-toed Sloth: Canopy Tower, Panama, July 2022 — This Three-toed Sloth climbed up into a tree right by the tower the first day I was here, and has been in the same tree until yesterday, when it disappeared. Late in afternoon yesterday while playing my flute on the tower, it emerged from behind a big bunch of leaves where it had been hidden in the next tree over, and I watched it sipping water from various leaves and flower clusters as it moved down one limb and up another over the course of 15 minutes. I even got video! The light was great, the sloth was as active as I have ever seen one, and I was at eye-level. Could not get any better! Sony Rx10iv at 526mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 500 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
