Hoffman\u2019s Two-toed Sloth: Tico Rainforest B&B, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, December 2024 \u2014 The two sloths found in Costa Rica, Hoffman\u2019s Two-toed, and the Brown-throated Three-toed Sloth. are not actually closely related\u2026they descend from two different ancestors, but are very similar in both appearance and behavior. The Two-toed is the slightly bigger and slightly more active of the two, but that is not saying much when talking about sloths. They both eat a low energy, hard to digest, diet of leaves. And, of course, they both have 3 toes\u2026but the Hoffman\u2019s has only 2 fingers. This Two-toed was resting in a tree about 25 feet up, just at the edge of Victor\u2019s little patch of second growth at Tico Rainforest B&B. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
